A Chapter 11 bankruptcy involves numerous complex issues. One of the most complex elements of a chapter 11 bankruptcy can be the treatment of executory contracts and unexpired leases. The application of bankruptcy laws to the terms of a contract or lease can significantly alter the rights and obligations of all parties to the agreement. A thorough understanding of how bankruptcy laws intersect with contracts and leases is critical for companies considering a chapter 11 restructuring, parties to an agreement with a financially distressed counterparty, and purchasers of bankrupt businesses, among many others.
