In the dynamic and often unpredictable economic landscape of California, businesses and individuals can sometimes find themselves facing overwhelming debt. While the term “bankruptcy” often conjures images of complete financial collapse, the reality is that the US Bankruptcy Code offers powerful tools for reorganization and debt management, providing a pathway toward a fresh start or a sustainable future. At KAASS LAW, we understand the complexities and anxieties in relation to financial distress, and we would like to dedicate in guiding individuals and businesses through the processes of bankruptcy reorganizations and arrangements in California.

The latter is aiming towards the financial recovery of a corporation.

The powers of trustees, among other things, may include:
