Bankruptcy 101A: Fundamentals For Non-Bankruptcy Litigators
Virtually every litigator will encounter bankruptcy at least once in his or her career, whether filed by an opposing party or your own client, sometimes without your knowledge. There are traps here as well as opportunities.
- When a bankruptcy trustee is appointed, do you lose your client? Not necessarily, but you must act quickly if you want to avoid giving back your fees!
- Does bankruptcy stop the entire litigation? Not necessarily, and there are opportunities for essentially free discovery in bankruptcy for the sharp-eyed litigator.
- If bankruptcy is inevitable, can it be folded into a litigation strategy? Absolutely, and indeed the proceedings should be coordinated. Address this early while there are more options!
