Karen E. Klein of Businessweek.com wrote a small article giving some advice on what to do when a client files Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  Given the recent events with Ensemble Chimes Group (Chimes) declaring bankruptcy, we thought it might be useful to our readers.

Some key advice from the article is here:

You should also ask for administrative priority in the subsidiary’s bankruptcy case, meaning your claim will get higher priority for repayment.”
