Bankruptcy

Introduction to Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

A trustee in bankruptcy may avoid certain statutory liens, fraudulent transfers, as well as preferences. The Bankruptcy Code provides that certain transfers made by a debtor within close proximity of bankruptcy are preferential to the recipient and violate the Bankruptcy Code's policy of equal treatment of creditors.

The defenses available to the creditor are limited and the cost to litigate can be high. More...
