Tax Consideration for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Proceeding | Best Practices for Corporate Executives

When restructuring, corporate executives often take the approach of cutting costs across the company instead of identifying corporate strengths. Even when executives do restructure in a smart way, often important tax implications are overlooked.
