and in representing receivers.
He routinely represents financial
institutions in the management
and sale of real property acquired
through foreclosure or similar means.
Other clients include commercial
landlords in landlord-tenant disputes,
as well as construction contractors
and subcontractors in seeking
perfection and enforcement of
materialmen and mechanics liens.
Retherford received his law degree,
magna cum laude, from the
University of Mississippi School
of Law and his bachelor’s degree,
also magna cum laude, from the
University of North Alabama.
Q How did you gravitate into turnaround and restructuring
work, or did you start your career in
the field?
RE THERFORD I started out in the
field when I graduated law school in
2003. While in law school, I clerked
with the law firm I’m with now, Balch.
