Chapter 11 Corporate Bankruptcy Reorganizations: Leases and Executory Contracts
A Chapter 11 bankruptcy involves numerous complex issues. One of the most complex elements of a chapter 11 bankruptcy can be the treatment of executory contracts and unexpired leases. The application of bankruptcy laws to the terms of a contract or lease can significantly alter the rights and obligations of all parties to the agreement. A thorough understanding of how bankruptcy laws intersect with contracts and leases is critical for companies considering a chapter 11 restructuring, parties to an agreement with a financially distressed counterparty, and purchasers of bankrupt businesses, among many others.
Join an exceptional panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group as they provide a comprehensive discussion of the intersection of leases and contracts with chapter 11 corporate bankruptcy law. The panel will discuss fundamental issues associated with contracts and leases in chapter 11 bankruptcies, as well as advanced concepts and cutting-edge developments in bankruptcy law.
