Best Practices for Filing Chapter 13 is an authoritative, insider's perspective on key strategies for representing and advising clients during Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings. Featuring partners from law firms around the nation, these experts guide the reader through the different stages of Chapter 13 proceedings, and the key considerations for each stage. These top lawyers reveal their advice on obtaining key information during the initial client interview, preparing handouts and checklists, evaluating filing strategies, and aiding clients in post-bankruptcy recovery. From forecasting costs and consequences to educating the client, these authors offer guidance for avoiding mistakes and unnecessary complications during bankruptcy proceedings. Additionally, these leaders reveal their strategies for identifying current trends in consumer bankruptcy law, navigating new legislation, and monitoring pending cases. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this ever-evolving field.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies and firms nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is heading and the most important issues for the future. Each author has been selected based upon their experience and C-level standing within the professional community.
