Bankruptcy For Businesses And Certain High-Net-Worth Individuals

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is often referred to as “business bankruptcy.” In fact, some individuals also find Chapter 11 to be the right type of bankruptcy for their circumstances. Chapter 11 bankruptcy filers may be professionals, business owners or other individuals with high debts that exceed the limits or other requirements for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is noted for its complexity and higher costs than what a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires. However, this form of bankruptcy may provide the flexibility and customization that is necessary for a business, a business owner or a high-net-worth individual.

Some Roles That Your Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Attorney May Fulfill

A large advantage of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is that it allows many businesses to continue operating while reorganizing their finances and bringing their debts and cash flow under control once again.

A bankruptcy trustee collects information and dispenses instructions, but does not offer legal advice to Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. It is essential for a business owner or high-net-worth individual in Maryland to consult with an attorney. A lawyer will help debtors understand both the federal and local jurisdictional rules and procedures throughout the entire process of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, including:

  • Getting permission from the trustee to make payments, take out loans or financing or take other financial actions
  • Maintaining and reporting detailed records
  • Staying in compliance with insurance and tax requirements
