About the Webinar

This 75 minute webinar takes the form of a conversation between Miriam Gottfried, a reporter with The Wall Street Journal and Jonathan Friedland, a partner with the Sugar Felsenthal law firm and principal author of two leading treatises about business bankruptcy.

Questions addressed about chapter 11 bankruptcy include:

  • What alternatives to chapter 11 exist for a company in financial distress?
  • How does a company go about deciding where to file chapter 11?
  • What’s a “first day motion?”
  • What does the lifecycle of a typical chapter 11 look like?
  • What does it mean to be the “fulcrum security?”
  • What is the “absolute priority rule?”
  • And many more!
