Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Bankruptcy is a complex and exciting area of the law. The Bankruptcy Code and the decisions interpreting it are rational and make sense - once you see how they fit together. There are a myriad of opportunities within the bankruptcy process to reduce losses, acquire key assets and earn outstanding results for those business leaders who understand how this process works.
It is my belief that with the proper tools to understand Chapter 11 business reorganizations, business leaders can evaluate the options for the deployment of assets within business reorganizations to realize superior return on investment. I also believe that with the appropriate information, accountants and general counsel can better serve their business clients by helping them spot potential problems and opportunities.

A Great Reference Source With A Wealth of Insightful Information,
By William Tell (Pen Name) "Bill" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers (Paperback)
This book does a really nice job of explaining how Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations work. The Glossary and Bankruptcy Cope sections make this a great reference source. Whether considering the strategic acquisition of assets from a business in Chapter 11, or working with insolvency experts to deal with a major account debtor, this book is a great resource.

A perfect bankruptcy reference,

This review is from: Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers (Paperback)
Mr. Alderman has done a superb job covering the most important aspects of Chapter 11 reorganization. The book is a valuable guide for any business professional interested in following the corporate bankruptcy process. As the Director of Bankruptcy Services for a national consulting firm, I regularly train accountants on bankruptcy issues, and I have found this book to be a perfect resource for that effort.

Be Sure You Know What This Is,
By
This review is from: Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers (Paperback)
I purchased this book expecting some detailed "how-to" about filing and conducting a Chapter 11 case. That's not what this book is. It's a broad overview of the Chapter 11 process written primarily for layman. Although the book is 184 pages, most of that length is glossary and reprints of bankruptcy code sections. The actual text is about 80 pages, with big type and lots of blank space. I'm not a particularly fast reader, but I knocked the whole thing out in a little over an hour. I would characterize this book as a Continuing Education presentation, revamped to book format.That said, it's a very good Continuing Education presentation. It's well-written and there are a half-dozen or so good nuggets of information and advice. If I had sat in on this presentation at a Bar conference, I'd have been thrilled. After having paid $45 for the book, not so much.
