The Deal Announces Results of Q2 2016 Bankruptcy League TablesNEW YORK, July 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Deal, a business unit of TheStreet Inc. (NASDAQ: TST), announced the results of its quarterly rankings of the top firms and professionals involved in active bankruptcy cases for the second quarter of 2016. Collected data captures only active bankruptcy work for ongoing U.S. and Canadian cases. "Bankruptcy attorneys will continue to see a steady flow of Chapter 11 petition filings from the oil and gas industry as energy prices slowly recover from a downturn that began in mid-2014," said Kirk O'Neil, bankruptcy reporter at The Deal. "Many of these companies with secured debt will likely turn to their prepetition secured lenders to provide debtor-in-possession financing, since third-party DIP lenders are not interested in priming the prepetition lenders." Some highlights from the report:
About The Deal's Bankruptcy League Tables The Deal's Bankruptcy League Tables are the industry's only league tables focused solely on active bankruptcy cases. The Bankruptcy League Tables by volume involve only active U.S. bankruptcy cases of debtors with liabilities of $10 million or more. The rankings are based on the aggregation of those liability values. The table reflects the number of active cases fitting that criteria and may not characterize the total number of active cases. Firms and professionals only get one credit for each active case, not each active assignment. The Bankruptcy League Tables by number involve U.S. and Canadian bankruptcy cases irrespective of debtor asset size. Professionals receive credit for multiple assignments on one case.
