Small businesses have been especially hard hit by the pandemic, and many have never been so seriously threatened by financial collapse. Many will necessarily consider, for the first time ever, the possibility of bankruptcy. And, the individuals behind the businesses will ask their lawyers "should I file bankruptcy". Advising these clients on the right answer for them requires an understanding of the basic tools bankruptcy offers, but like their clients, many of these lawyers have never faced these issues before.
To help bridge this gap, Wake Forest School of Law and Thomson Reuters will be providing in the near future, free to the legal community at large, a unique CLE for bankruptcy newcomers. These programs are being designed to provide legal professionals with the skills and savvy necessary to help their small business clients navigate the post-COVID economy by introducing the basic tools of bankruptcy that can keep their clients' businesses alive.
