Professional fees in corporate bankruptcies: data, analysis, and evaluation

Professional Fees in Corporate Bankruptcies: Data, Analysis, and Evaluation is based on a study of thousands of documents from the court files in over a hundred of the largest bankruptcy cases. It employs statistical analysis and documents its findings, and provides an unprecedented window on the worlds of bankruptcy professionals, professional fees, and their scientific study. Through that window, readers see both a disturbing picture of a legal system in crisisand a hopeful one with opportunities for desperately needed reform. This bookwill be of interest not only to scholars studying professional fees, but alsoto bankruptcy professionals, judges, policymakers, and anyone interested in the functioning of law-based systems.
