Course Description:
In a seminar-sized, practical workshop setting, students will explore, through lecture, discussion, and practical written and oral exercises, the practical and strategic elements of a typical Chapter 11 reorganization. Students will devise and implement strategies for all significant steps in the Chapter 11 reorganization process for an operating business entity. This process includes major Chapter 11 elements from case filing (including venue considerations), interim operations (including cash use, DIP financing, asset sales), and executory contracts (including retiree benefits and collective bargaining agreements), to plan negotiation, formulation, and prosecution. Following a hypothetical distressed company’s route through its Chapter 11 case, this course will introduce the elements of reorganization from a strongly strategic, practical perspective, drawing on students’ prior familiarity with the statutory and other legal underpinnings of Chapter 11 concepts obtained from the prerequisite course.
