Overview of Corporate Bankruptcy Law

Corporate bankruptcy law differentiates between economic and financial distress, aiming to assist firms in each category. Economic distress occurs when a business has no future prospects and should be shut down. Financial distress, on the other hand, arises from balance sheet issues like excessive debt or unfavorable contracts. Bankruptcy helps maximize recoveries for creditors and reallocates capital efficiently by liquidating economically distressed firms and reorganizing financially distressed ones.
