Editorial Review:

The thousands of mergers, acquisitions, and start-ups that have characterized the past ten years of business have created an increasing number of corporations in financial trouble: specifically, a shortage of venture capital or quick cash. Consequently, bankruptcy protection is now viewed as a strategic move to protect corporations from their creditors and allow them to reorganize. Bankruptcy and Insolvency Taxation, Third Edition provides the answers to the questions financial managers will have on the tax aspects of the "bankruptcy strategy."

Editorial Review:

Featuring indispensable new coverage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, Bankruptcy Deskbook examines the burdens and benefits of the new law as they pertain to both consumer and business debtors in Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13, and offers new forms that must accompany petitions. The fourth edition discusses the Act's controversial two-part means test, including how the standard is applied and who is likely to be disqualified from exploiting the more forgiving provisions of Chapter 7 and required to set up Chapter 13 repayment plans -- new debtor education requirements, including mandated credit counseling and debt management classes -- the court's greater power to dismiss bankruptcy cases outright, convert Chapter 7 cases to Chapter 13 cases, and impose attorney sanctions -- new constraints on corporations during the bankruptcy process -- new debt recovery tools for lenders and businesses -- and many other key provisions of this sweeping new law.

Editorial Review:

Mastering Bankruptcy is a succinct, practical guide to the intricacies of Title 11 of the United States Code. Functional in approach, it describes the operation of the general, administrative and estate management and maximization provisions of chapters 1, 3, and 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and their interaction with one another, and then turns to the operative chapters of the Code (7, 9, 11, 12, and 13) to describe how these provisions are deployed in liquidation, rehabilitation, and reorganization cases. The author is a long-term professor and practitioner, whose writings on this and other subjects have long been praised as spare and straightforward, eschewing the overly complex tone of other works, including many casebooks and treatises. He has incorporated his experience and explanations of typical bankruptcy issues, problems, solutions, and outcomes formed over nearly 20 years in the field. By weaving together the purpose and the practical effect of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure with illustrative examples, this book will greatly assist those who are seeking to master the subject in short order.

This book is part of the Carolina Academic Press Mastering Series edited by Russell L.Weaver, University of Louisville School of Law.

Recycled and Outdated 1 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Reading this guy's work is a real testimony to the staying power generated by doing something first. His 1967 paper on bankruptcy was the first to estimate a multivariate default prediction model. THAT'S 35 YEARS AGO. Things like computers and more data make both his estimation algorithm and parameter estimates relics of little significance, and his inability to recognize this is symptomatic of a more cluelessness exhibited in his discussion of other matters (he doesn't simply reference the old model; it's now irrelevant structure is examined and built upon throughout the book).

Very little of what is here is new, and what's new isn't that good either. Freshmen looking for succinct references to someone their professor has heard of but not read will appreciate this volume. I suggest reading S&P or Moody's research instead.

Editorial Review:

This is the authoritative collection of the writings of Dr. Edward I. Altman, the world's leading authority on bankruptcy, corporate distress, and defaults, and creator of the widely-used Z-Score model. This book contains both classic and never-before-published articles, along with Altman's comprehensive introduction that places all the articles in context.
