A Missed Opportunity in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Reform
Chapter 11 bankruptcy remains a contentious topic. Critics argue that the process is excessively complex and cost-prohibitive, limiting its usefulness for smaller firms. Michael Napoli emphasizes the urgent need for reform to simplify proceedings and make them more accessible.
Key Issues in Chapter 11
- Lengthy processes deter potential filers.
- Costs disproportionately burden struggling businesses.
- Reform proposals have been largely overlooked.
Implications for Bankruptcy Practitioners
