Strategic Alternatives For And Against Distressed Businesses, 2023 ed.

Strategic Alternatives For And Against Distressed Businesses is one of a kind. It is the only resource that provides comprehensive state-by-state comparisons of assignments for the benefit of creditors and receiverships. This alone makes the book a must-have for every insolvency professional.

Strategic Alternatives covers much more, however. Weighing in at nearly 2,000 pages and updated annually, Strategic Alternatives provides an overview of chapter 11 and of all the various alternatives to chapter 11 – both from the company’s (i.e. debtor’s) perspective as well as from the perspective of creditors and other constituents. Options covered include, among others, assignments for the benefit of creditors (ABCs), state court receiverships, federal equity receiverships, compositions, UCC Article 9 sales, and exchange offers.

Strategic Alternatives includes helpful chapters that address how companies become distressed, how to turn them around, real estate workouts, and tax issues generally in the context of reorganizations and liquidations. It also has special focus chapters written from the perspective of various constituencies, including the company’s directors and officers, its secured creditors, and potential buyers.

If you can only own one book about corporate restructuring and insolvency, there is a compelling case that this should be the one.
