One Year On: Key Issues and Developments in the First Year of the 2005 Bankruptcy Code Amendments

October 17, 2006

On October 17, 2005, sweeping changes to the United States Bankruptcy Code became effective, including a number of major changes affecting business reorganizations. On the first anniversary of the new law, Chadbourne's Bankruptcy & Financial Restructuring Group hosted a program that brought together a panel of bankruptcy experts with varied backgrounds to discuss how the changes are playing out in the real world of business reorganizations. The panel shared their perceptions on how debtors and creditors in business cases are dealing with the new legislation and are using it to maximize their leverage.

Over 100 clients and friends attended this educational and provocative program on how the dynamics of Chapter 11 have been dramatically altered.
