Bankruptcy Law

Bankruptcy Law governs how individuals or entities who cannot meet their financial obligations can seek relief from some or all of their debts. Bankruptcy proceedings can provide a debtor a fresh start, typically through liquidating assets to pay off creditors under Chapter 7 or creating a debt repayment plan under Chapter 13 (for individuals) or Chapter 11 (for businesses). Bankruptcy Law balances the interests of creditors and debtors, providing a system for orderly debt resolution. It involves court involvement to ensure that a debtor's assets are fairly distributed and that the debtor, if eligible, is discharged from further liability on certain debts, allowing them to start over financially.
