The moment

A bankruptcy filing is public the day it's made. It names the debtor, the chapter and the court, and in a business case it lists the largest creditors. For counsel, turnaround firms and buyers of distressed assets, the first days are when the roles get handed out.

The Chapter tracks new filings. It keeps the business cases, plus owner cases tied to a business that's still operating.

Who it's for

  • Bankruptcy counsel, debtor and creditor side
  • Turnaround and restructuring firms
  • Distressed asset buyers
  • Private equity

What you get

  • New business bankruptcy filings in your districts
  • The chapter, the court and the filing date
  • The largest creditors listed, where the filing includes them
  • Owner filings tied to an operating business

The outcome

Your turnaround team reaches the company in the first week. Distressed buyers and private equity see which assets may come up for sale before the sale motion is filed.

Questions buyers ask

Which chapters are on the list?
Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 business cases, including small-business cases, and owner cases tied to a business. You pick the ones you work.
Can creditor-side counsel use it?
Yes. The creditor list shows who's owed, which helps counsel find clients on the creditor side too.
Is this useful for private equity?
Yes. A filing is often the first public sign that a company or its assets may be for sale. Our private equity page covers how we source off-market targets.
