Corporate bankruptcy attorney, I am curious about the corporate bankruptcy procedure.

Hello. I am a corporate bankruptcy attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

The corporate bankruptcy procedure does not end simply with an application; it proceeds step by step according to a certain flow.

First, when a corporate bankruptcy petition is submitted to the court, the court reviews the submitted materials and either declares bankruptcy right away or, if necessary, has the company's representative or the creditors appear for an examination before declaring bankruptcy.

Where the company itself files the petition, it usually takes about one to two months from the application to the declaration of bankruptcy, and this may vary depending on the complexity of the case.

Once bankruptcy is declared, the court appoints a bankruptcy trustee and designates the period for filing claims, the first creditors' meeting, and the date for examining claims, notifying the interested parties.

The bankruptcy trustee then liquidates the company's assets into cash and investigates the amounts and priorities of the filed claims.

Once the disposal of the assets is complete, estate claims such as wages, severance pay, and taxes are paid first, and if any amount remains, it is distributed to general creditors on a pro rata basis.

When all procedures are concluded, the court issues a decision terminating the bankruptcy proceedings.

Corporate bankruptcy goes beyond merely winding up a company; it can be closely connected to the personal liability of the representative and to future recovery, so a review and strategy suited to the specific situation are important.

It is advisable to prepare for the procedure by consulting a corporate bankruptcy attorney from the early stages.
