Book Details

A Great Reference Source For Business Leaders and Their Professionals

Each year billions of dollars of business credit and contracts are restructured under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In the process, substantial fortunes are reallocated. Debtors in Chapter 11 reorganizations range from some of the largest business entities in the world to small local businesses. When these companies file for protection from creditors under Chapter 11, new problems and opportunities are created. Mr. Alderman draws upon over twenty years of experience counseling clients to explain the key legal theories and offer practical and tactical advice to business leaders, stakeholders and their advisors.

Book Excerpt

Bankruptcy is a complex and exciting area of the law. The Bankruptcy Code and the decisions interpreting it are rational and make sense - once you see how they fit together. There are a myriad of opportunities within the bankruptcy process to reduce losses, acquire key assets and earn outstanding results for those business leaders who understand how this process works.

It is my belief that with the proper tools to understand Chapter 11 business reorganizations, business leaders can evaluate the options for the deployment of assets within business reorganizations to realize superior return on investment. I also believe that with the appropriate information, accountants and general counsel can better serve their business clients by helping them spot potential problems and opportunities.
