Chapter 11 Reorganization: Process and Players

What this video covers

• The automatic stay: exactly when it triggers, what it halts, and how a creditor secures relief from it
• Executory contracts and leases: the three paths of assumption, rejection, and assume-and-assign, plus the damage claim that rejection creates
• Debtor in possession status: why the DIP keeps control by default and what powers transfer with that role
• The U.S. Trustee versus a Chapter 11 trustee: why these are entirely separate roles and what misconduct triggers a trustee appointment
• The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors versus ad hoc committees: fee payment rules and your UCC appointment mechanics
• Fiduciary duty shifts in the zone of insolvency: why creditors displace equity as the residual claimants in deep financial distress
• Clawback windows: 90 days for general preferential transfers, one year for insiders, and two years for fraudulent transfers under federal law
