Delaware Bankruptcy Law Office
Federal/state laws govern bankruptcy
Bankruptcy cases are subject to the Federal Bankruptcy Code and Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure along with Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Attorneys at Werb & Sullivan have extensive knowledge of Delaware bankruptcy law procedures and frequently represent creditors in complex commercial bankruptcy cases.
Delaware bankruptcy laws—local rules must be obeyed
In Delaware, U.S. bankruptcy courts have local rules that must be followed that are specific to the particular court. Failure to comply with local rulse can result in delays or denied opportunities to protect a creditor’s rights.
Delaware bankruptcy lawyers at Werb & Sullivan serve as local counsel, often working with clients and their out-of-state counsel to represent creditors involved in Delaware commercial bankruptcy cases. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has numerous local rules for bankruptcy practice and procedure. We assist clients in complying with local rules, such as fulfilling the local counsel requirement, or with pro hac vice representation when courts allow non local counsel to represent clients within the Delaware bankruptcy court jurisdiction. Our knowledge of local Delaware bankruptcy law practices allows us to protect our clients’ rights and pursue legal actions that safeguard their interests.
In addition, local rules dictate time frames for a large number of administrative procedures that must be followed, such as:
- Deliveries to chambers
- Required certificates of counsel
- Required dating and formatting of documents
- Rules regarding fees
Legal guidance from an experienced Delaware bankruptcy attorney proves invaluable for clients and their counsel outside of Delaware or overseas, saving them time and unnecessary expense.
