Welcome to another episode of the podcast for the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association.   In this episode, we are bringing the audio from the December 1st webinar "Bankruptcy 201 Maximizing the Estate." Congratulations! Your client has filed a chapter 11 petition and landed softly into bankruptcy. That’s the easy part. So, what comes next? This panel of savvy bankruptcy practitioners will give a class in Bankruptcy 201, showing that successful engagements often turn on whether the professionals are able to (i) identify less obvious potential recovery sources, (ii) properly value various estate assets, and (if necessary) (iii) successfully pursue litigation aimed at generating stakeholder recoveries. Whether a new practitioner looking for the basics of the craft or a seasoned practitioner looking for some more tricks of the trade, this program will provide real, practical guidance on how best to “Maximize the Estate.” The panel was moderated by Nick Miller of McDonald Hopkins LLP.
