Bankruptcy and Commercial Lease Issues in a COVID-19 Disrupted World

The New York Law Journal recently published an article written by Olshan Bankruptcy partner Jonathan Koevary and Corporate associate Robert Gagne entitled “Bankruptcy and Commercial Lease Issues in a COVID-19 Disrupted World”. The article examines the legal and practical commercial lease issues arising from COVID-19’s effect on the bankruptcy strategy of retailers such as Modell’s and restaurateurs such as Craftworks, who filed for chapter 11 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, its effect on their landlords, and the timing of payment of post-filing rents.
