Course Description

For corporations facing insolvency, cash flow, and other business problems, bankruptcy can be a strategy for success, and there are a wealth of options for utilizing this strategy. This course, taught by bankruptcy attorney Wayne Greenwald, will present an array of bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy options to resolve a variety of business issues. It will also address Entrepreneur Rescue for those entities’ owners.

The program will cover remedies for specific problems, including: total business failure; cash flow issues; tax debt; recapitalization; business-killing problems; problem assets; burdensome contracts and leases; shareholder litigation; litigation; and forgiveness of debt income. For each scenario, the course will also help attorneys identify who gets “saved”: the business, the owner, or both. Finally, the presenter will discuss the pros, cons, and considerations for choosing bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy relief.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify common business issues that may call for bankruptcy solutions
  2. Review best practices in utilizing the appropriate bankruptcy strategy
