Bankruptcy Mediation

Written by members of ABI’s Mediation Committee, Bankruptcy Mediation assists both novices to bankruptcy mediation, as well as skilled participants, by detailing a process that has grown exponentially in recent years. Numerous courts have adopted local rules on mediation and many have pre-certified panels of mediators, so it is perhaps natural that bankruptcy professionals, who understand deal-making, are drawn to mediation by the prospect of controlling costs and fashioning relief in a more flexible manner than what can be obtained in court. The mediation process can secure a successful reorganization or implement a liquidation process that can maximize returns to creditors by minimizing costs. Crafted by some of the most knowledgeable and effective mediators in the field, Bankruptcy Mediation provides in-depth instructions and advice on effectively using mediation to achieve resolution between debtors and creditors.
