Top 10 Questions About Subchapter V Reorganization -

Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code offers powers and benefits that are simply not available in out-of-court restructurings.

Recently-enacted Subchapter V provides for the first time an affordable mechanism for companies to reorganize with the benefits of the Chapter 11 process while preserving the interests of common and preferred stockholders.
