Who are our sources?

Every morning, we check the court dockets of all major Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States. We look for major events such as the filings of motions, objections, disclosure statements, reorganization plans and fee requests. We also track court calendars to prepare coverage of upcoming hearings and events. In addition, our staff of experienced reporters maintains a network of contacts at law firms, restructuring firms, bankrupt companies and industry organizations, who frequently tip us off on breaking news developments.
