IV Years of Subchapter V A Small Business Bankruptcy Retros

This on-demand webinar is available for 14 days after purchase. 

Subchapter V of the Bankruptcy Code, which contains the small business provisions that Congress enacted to expedite and reduce the cost of Chapter 11 cases for small businesses, took effect in February 2020.  On the heels of over four years living with Subchapter V, the speakers will discuss the nuts and bolts of Subchapter V small business cases, the differences between Subchapter V and other Chapter 11 cases, recent hot issues of interest to trade creditors in small business cases, and how small business debtors have been faring in Subchapter V cases.  There will then be a discussion of the Final Report of the American Bankruptcy Institute Subchapter V Task Force, which made recommendations to Congress regarding the Subchapter V small business provisions.
