Theodore M. McGinn and Timothy M. Hughes • April 15, 2020

The process is more streamlined and accessible than traditional Chapter 11 and there is more control of structure and payments of small business reorganizations. Subchapter V provides small businesses much-needed relief in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In this podcast, Attorneys McGinn and Hughes discuss Subchapter V and how it can help you save your business.
