Adversary Proceedings

Service Description

An adversary proceeding is a lawsuit related to a bankruptcy case and involves more complex litigation than a contested matter. It’s given a separate case number and proceeds much like any other civil litigation action. An adversary proceeding starts when a plaintiff (the person bringing the action) files a document called a complaint. The complaint includes causes of action (legal disputes) the plaintiff would like the court to resolve. As with other lawsuits, an appeal process is also available.
