The Bankruptcy Disaster Relief Working Group of the ABA Business Law Section is composed of members of the BLS Consumer Bankruptcy Committee and the Business Bankruptcy Committee. Its goal is to provide assistance to the attorneys working with businesses and consumers facing bankruptcy due to disaster losses.
The Working Group will engage in three major projects:
- Development of a bankruptcy primer for attorneys not familiar with the bankruptcy code who are providing pro bono assistance to storm victims.
- Establish a peer-to-peer answer service for attorneys who wish to speak with a bankruptcy specialist regarding non case-specific issues.
- Provide information and resources regarding the impact of the recent amendments to the bankruptcy code on storm victims facing bankruptcy.
