Bankruptcy Restructuring Strategies: Leading Lawyers on Evaluating Bankruptcy Alternatives, Protecting the Client, and Developing Negotiation Strategies (Inside the Minds) »

Bankruptcy Restructuring Strategies is an authoritative, insider's perspective on best practices for handling restructuring matters for bankruptcy clients. Featuring partners and chairs from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through protecting a client, understanding primary legal components, and identifying the roles of key players. From analyzing auditing procedures to representing creditors' committees, these leaders offer expertise on evaluating the post-bankruptcy period, identifying recent landmark cases, and executing a turn-around strategy. Additionally, these top experts offer strategies for meeting client's goals, filing Chapter 11, and developing monitoring systems.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
