In Episode 4 of Business Bankruptcy Basics, hosts Miles Taylor and Ella Vincent are joined by Rob Charles, a partner and leader in Womble Bond Dickinson's Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights Practice Group, for an overview of one of the most powerful tools in bankruptcy: the automatic stay. Rob walks listeners through what the automatic stay is and who it protects, as well as the major exceptions to the stay and the grounds for relief from the stay under section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. Whether you're a law student or bankruptcy practitioner building your foundational knowledge, or a litigator who may find yourself facing the stay when a party you're suing files for bankruptcy, this episode provides a solid framework for understanding how the automatic stay works in practice.
