Gain a comprehensive understanding of the lifecycle of a Chapter 11 proceeding and delve into the critical legal intricacies inherent in bankruptcy cases.
This presentation will provide a practical primer on U.S. Bankruptcy Code proceedings. It will walk through the lifecycle of a Chapter 11 proceeding, describe why parties may wish to commence such a proceeding and give an overview of the key legal issues that typically arise in a bankruptcy. This background will be valuable not only for bankruptcy and restructuring practitioners but also for lawyers in a variety of other practice areas. Bankruptcy proceedings can dramatically affect parties' rights and obligations, and a strong understanding of the Bankruptcy Code can allow practitioners to structure their transactions and organize their litigation strategies in a way that maximizes opportunity and minimizes the risk bankruptcy presents.
