Fewer people are filing for bankruptcy in the Western District of New York and across the state, but that may be a short-lived trend, Rochester partner Kevin Tompsett told the Buffalo News in a recent article. Bankruptcy filings are closely related to foreclosures, which have been subject to moratoriums since the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic. As the moratoriums are lifted, and some foreclosures proceed, it is likely that the number of bankruptcy filings will increase, Kevin said in his conversation with reporter Matt Glynn. Kevin leads the Harris Beach Financial Restructuring, Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights Practice Group.
