When One Ch. 11 Doesn't Cut It: Recent 'Chapter 22s'
If there's something worse than bankruptcy, it's having to go through bankruptcy more than once. From exit loans that act more like a millstone than a launchpad, to unsuccessful attempts to shake off tort liability, to macroeconomic headwinds that just won't stop blowing, most Chapter 11 debtors show up to court more distressed the second time around.
Meet The Attys Moving Wynne Transportation Through Ch. 11
Wynne Transportation Holdings LLC has secured the help of attorneys from Landis Rath & Cobb LLP to see it through a restructuring in the wake of an arbitrator's judgment that the company must pay a former subcontractor $32.8 million, which came after the state of Texas required the debtor to bus migrants to Democrat-controlled areas.
