With the increasing number of bankruptcies being filed in the United States, you can also expect an increase in the number of Chapter 15 bankruptcy proceedings. Chapter 15 provides a U.S. Bankruptcy Court with the authority to recognize, either as a foreign main or foreign non-main proceeding, a foreign insolvency case concerning an entity. Further, Chapter 15 codifies the scope of relief that may be available to a foreign representative upon recognition by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of a foreign case, depending upon whether such foreign case is recognized as a foreign main or foreign non-main proceeding. Make sure you are up to speed on the Chapter 15 process.
