Regardless of whether you are a creditor whose return on investment is in jeopardy or own a business that is struggling financially, business bankruptcy is never easy. This is largely due to the fact that once a business is in Chapter 11, the reorganization process has many facets and very specific rules and procedures that must be followed. What often determines success for a party affected by Chapter 11 is having skilled legal counsel who understands those options and can help devise and implement an effective strategy that navigates the many issues that always arise.
