About EDS Court-Appointed Receiver/Keeper Services

A Louisiana Court-Appointed Receiver/Keeper is an independent third-party neutral fiduciary appointed by a court to take control of and manage a business or property that is involved in a legal dispute. The appointment of a court-appointed receiver or keeper is typically made to protect a company’s or property’s assets while a legal dispute is being resolved. The Court-Appointed Receiver/Keeper has the authority to operate and manage the business or property and take steps to protect and preserve the assets until the dispute is resolved.
A Court-Appointed Receiver differs from a Court-Appointed Keeper, as the Receiver is appointed to manage the company’s property, assets, and financial affairs. In contrast, the primary focus of a Keeper is to safeguard and preserve the assets.
The role of a Louisiana Court-Appointed Receiver/Keeper can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case. Still, they are generally responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the business or property and ensuring that it is being run in a financially responsible manner. They may also be required to provide regular reports to the court on the condition of the business or property, as well as any actions taken to protect and preserve the assets.
Our Louisiana Court-Appointed Receivers/Keepers marshal onsite 24/7/365 to secure, preserve, protect, operate, maintain, and enhance the going-concern value of businesses and business assets that might otherwise be lost during bankruptcies, foreclosures, restructurings, replevin, and other legal proceedings, while actively pursuing permanent solutions.
We specialize in providing 24/7/365 onsite crisis-interim management teams to operate troubled accounts facing operational and financial difficulties. We are particularly skilled in providing transitional management in highly contentious special assets and special situations and in handling all efforts related to the wind-down and disposition of Environmentally Sensitive and Impaired Real and movable Property (Superfund and Brownfields Sites), Hospitality, Gaming, Resorts, HOA-Golfing Communities, Shipyards/Admiralty/Maritime, Aviation (Fixed and Rotor), Automotive (Manufacturing and Retail), Heavy Industrial, Oil & Gas/Minerals, Commercial and High-Value Residential Real Estate.
