Deal structure matters, particularly in bankruptcy. The Third Circuit recently ruled that a creditor’s right to future royalty payments in a non-executory contract could be discharged in the counterparty-debtor’s bankruptcy.

Unlike traditional Chapter 11 “free fall” bankruptcy cases, some debtors enter bankruptcy with pre-packaged or pre-negotiated plans, offering major advantages such as reduced case length. These plans, largely drafted and agreed upon prior to filing, can expedite case resolution from over a year to mere weeks. Furthermore, these cases often provide greater certainty in outcome due to required buy-in from key creditor groups.
