SUMMARY:New Bankruptcy Law May Help Small Cos. Weather COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:In February 2020\, the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (“SBRA”)\, also known as Subchapter V of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code\, went into effect. The SBRA includes a number of provisions that make Chapter 11 reorganization quicker\, cheaper and more effective for businesses with total debts under $2\,725\,625. The recently enacted CARES Act\, designed to aid businesses suffering the effects of the coronavirus\, increases the debt limit to $7\,500\,000 for one year\, which will enable a far greater number of companies to take advantage of the SBRA. This course will address the benefits provided to small businesses under the SBRA\, including simpler plan procedures and substantive provisions that make it easier for small business owners to confirm a plan of reorganization and retain equity in their companies. \nThis course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE. \nRegister Online \n\nAbout the Presenters\nAndrew Zaron\, Esq. is a partner at León Cosgrove LLP\, who focused on bankruptcy\, restructuring and related commercial litigation. \nMr. Zaron has extensive experience counseling and representing clients confronting the difficult choices imposed by financial distress.
