Overview:
Corporate bankruptcy filings in the United States have surged in 2023, with over 230 companies seeking Chapter 11 protection, the highest number since 2010. This increase is due to economic difficulties, including a sluggish economy, increasing interest rates, and ongoing inflation.
These and other developments underscore the need for businesses to be well-versed in reorganization strategies and tools to address financial challenges, adapt to market conditions, preserve relationships, minimize losses, and position themselves for long-term success.

Perry, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, will present a comprehensive discussion of the latest trends in corporate bankruptcy and reorganization.
