Summary

Chapter 7 Commercial Bankruptcy Strategies is an authoritative, insider's perspective on key strategies for representing and advising companies filing for Chapter 7 liquidation. Featuring partners from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the preliminary stages of a Chapter 7 filing, including identifying the typical industries seeking bankruptcy protection, evaluating the readiness and eligibility of the client to file, exploring bankruptcy options and alternatives, and communicating the immediate and long-term benefits of liquidation. These top lawyers offer advice on expediting the filing timeline, understanding the trustee's pivotal role, analyzing the legal and financial elements involved, and implementing a discharge. From developing a case strategy to meeting client expectations, these authors explain their best practices for collecting and filing a complete Chapter 7 petition. Additionally, these leaders reveal the differences between a Chapter 7 versus a Chapter 11 filing and discuss how to manage the conversion of a voluntary Chapter 11 case to an involuntary Chapter 7 liquidation. 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 navigating this ever-evolving area of law.

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.
