In January 2019, PG&E, California’s biggest utility, providing natural gas and electric service to 16 million people, sought protection under Chapter 11 of the US bankruptcy code. Despite having total assets of almost $72 billion versus debts of almost $52 billion, PG&E faced potential litigation costs that could ultimately exceed $30 billion. In 2018, nearly 5,500 corporations filed for Chapter 11 protection, including Sears, Bertucci’s, David’s Bridal, and Brookstone.
In this webinar we will examine the types of individual and individual bankruptcy protections available in the United States, and explain the differences between the two outcomes of a corporate bankruptcy filing - liquidation and reorganization.
We will also examine the causes and outcomes – favorable and unfavorable - of actual corporate bankruptcy filings from a variety of industries, including automotive, retail, food service and utilities.
