Drafting a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization manually requires hours of document review, claim classification, treatment schedule preparation, and verification against bankruptcy code requirements. Attorneys must cross-reference multiple financial documents, research legal standards, and ensure every section complies with complex procedural rules—a process that typically consumes 6-8 billable hours per plan.
Drafting a Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization requires mastering complex statutory requirements under 11 USC §§ 1121-1129, proper creditor classification, precise treatment provisions, and comprehensive feasibility analysis. Manual drafting takes 15-20 hours and risks missing critical confirmation requirements, improper creditor classifications, or inadequate discharge provisions that can derail confirmation.
CaseMark automates the entire plan drafting process by analyzing your case documents, extracting financial data, properly classifying creditors under § 1122, calculating distributions, and generating a comprehensive reorganization plan that satisfies all § 1129 confirmation requirements. The AI ensures statutory compliance, proper impairment analysis, and feasibility demonstrations while reducing drafting time from days to minutes.
This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases

Chapter 11 reorganizations are fundamentally corporate finance transactions involving debt restructuring, capital structure changes, and financial rehabilitation of businesses.
Loan and financing attorneys draft reorganization plans that include exit financing provisions, debtor-in-possession financing terms, and treatment of secured creditor claims.
Chapter 11 plans routinely incorporate complex financing arrangements including DIP financing, exit facilities, and restructuring of existing loan agreements that require specialized lending expertise.
M&A attorneys utilize reorganization plans when acquiring distressed assets through bankruptcy sales or when merger targets are in Chapter 11 proceedings requiring plan confirmation.
Many M&A transactions involve distressed companies in bankruptcy, where the reorganization plan governs asset sales, assumption of contracts, and treatment of liabilities critical to deal structure.
Corporate counsel managing financially distressed companies use reorganization plans to restructure operations, modify corporate governance, and implement business turnaround strategies.
In-house and general corporate attorneys frequently handle Chapter 11 proceedings as part of broader corporate restructuring efforts, requiring familiarity with plan drafting and confirmation requirements.
CaseMark analyzes your case data against all mandatory confirmation requirements including proper classification under § 1122, feasibility under § 1129(a)(11), the best interests test under § 1129(a)(7), and good faith under § 1129(a)(3).

Yes, CaseMark analyzes secured claims under § 506(a), identifies distinct collateral pools, separates priority claims under § 507(a), and creates appropriate classes for general unsecured claims. The system recognizes when separate classification is required for substantially dissimilar claims and can create convenience classes for administrative efficiency. All classifications comply with § 1122 requirements that each class contain only substantially similar claims.
CaseMark identifies executory contracts and unexpired leases from your uploaded documents, calculates required cure amounts under § 365(b)(1), and generates assumption/rejection schedules. The plan includes proper treatment of specialized contracts like intellectual property licenses under § 365(n) and real property leases under § 365(d). The system also establishes appropriate bar dates for rejection damage claims and adequate assurance provisions.
CaseMark automatically generates cramdown provisions compliant with § 1129(b) when needed. For secured claims, it ensures treatment provides indubitable equivalent or deferred cash payments with market-rate interest for present value protection. For unsecured claims, it applies the absolute priority rule, ensuring no junior class receives distributions unless senior dissenting classes are paid in full or an applicable exception applies. The system tailors cramdown language to your jurisdiction's case law.
Yes, the generated plan includes comprehensive distribution procedures specifying the disbursing agent, initial and subsequent distribution dates, payment methods, disputed claims reserves, and unclaimed property provisions.
