Excerpted from Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers by Myles H. Alderman Jr.. Copyright © 2006. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Bankruptcy is a complex and exciting area of the law. The Bankruptcy Code and the decisions interpreting it are rational and make sense - once you see how they fit together. There are a myriad of opportunities within the bankruptcy process to reduce losses, acquire key assets and earn outstanding results for those business leaders who understand how this process works.

It is my belief that with the proper tools to understand Chapter 11 business reorganizations, business leaders can evaluate the options for the deployment of assets within business reorganizations to realize superior return on investment. I also believe that with the appropriate information, accountants and general counsel can better serve their business clients by helping them spot potential problems and opportunities.
