Creditors' Committee
A Creditors' Committee is a group formed during bankruptcy proceedings to represent the interests of creditors—those owed money by the debtor. Comprising a selection of major creditors, this committee works collaboratively to oversee the bankruptcy process, negotiate repayment plans, and ensure fair treatment of all creditors. They provide input on restructuring proposals and help shape decisions regarding asset sales or distribution of funds. Essentially, the committee acts as a voice for creditors, facilitating communication and collaboration with the debtor and the court to navigate the financial recovery process effectively.
