About This Course
Every business lawyer needs a working knowledge of bankruptcy law, whether representing creditors seeking to recover on their claims or counseling companies facing financial distress. This course provides a practical introduction to the bankruptcy system, focusing on the issues most relevant to general practitioners and in-house counsel.
The program covers the basic structure of the Bankruptcy Code, including the differences between Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 11 reorganization. Participants will learn about the automatic stay and its exceptions, the treatment of different classes of claims, and the process for confirming a plan of reorganization.
We will examine strategies for creditors participating in bankruptcy cases, including how to file proofs of claim, object to discharge, and participate in creditors' committees. The course also covers the unique issues that arise in sales of assets under Section 363, including the free and clear sale provisions that make bankruptcy sales attractive to buyers.
