Chicago Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Lawyer

Atlas Consumer Law Can Explain Your Options

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a viable debt relief solution for corporations, businesses, and high-net worth individuals who are struggling to stay afloat. Essentially, this form of bankruptcy affords businesses and individuals the opportunity to reorganize and restructure their debt. However, Chapter 11 can be expensive and may not be the right choice for everyone, which is why you should consult a Chicago bankruptcy attorney about all of your debt relief options.

Our mission is to educate clients about all of the options available to them, including the benefits and disadvantages of each debt relief solution. It is important to be aware of the fact that while you will be able to stay in business when filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, you will lose major decision-making power to the bankruptcy court. We can assist you in creating a “fair and equitable” repayment or reorganization plan that will help you get your finances back in order.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for Businesses

When a business files for Chapter 11, it may still run its day-to-day operations while getting protection from creditors. A number of debts and contracts may be canceled or reduced, including both secured and unsecured loans, loan contracts, real estate leases, and supply and vendor contracts. However, if you are a small business owner with little value beyond limited receivables, it may make more sense to seek protection under Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for Individuals

While Chapter 11 filings are typically associated with business entities, it can also be a helpful debt relief tool for certain individuals. An individual Chapter 11 may be the right fit for a person with complex debt along with significant assets or a high individual income. It is important to note that individual Chapter 11 filings are treated similarly to business Chapter 11 filings. Therefore, the more onerous requirements of this filing might not be best for everyone.
