Bankruptcy Law


Bankruptcy law is a specialized area of legal practice that deals with the legal processes and regulations governing individuals and businesses facing financial distress and insolvency. It offers a structured framework for individuals or entities to manage their debts when they are unable to meet their financial obligations. Bankruptcy law includes several chapters or types of bankruptcy, each with its own set of rules and procedures. Common types include Chapter 7 (liquidation), Chapter 11 (reorganization for businesses), and Chapter 13 (individual debt adjustment). Bankruptcy lawyers help clients assess their financial situations, determine the most appropriate type of bankruptcy, guide them through the filing process, and represent them in court proceedings. The primary goal of bankruptcy law is to provide a fresh financial start for individuals or a path for businesses to reorganize and emerge from financial difficulties while ensuring equitable treatment of creditors and the protection of the debtor's assets.
