Introducing The Perkins Olson Bankruptcy Law Blog

My name is Richard Olson, partner and co-founder of our law firm. As the recession has continued to stress the business climate in Maine and beyond, I have experienced a growing need to answer general questions about bankruptcies. I’ve always enjoyed reading legal blogs and decided to launch my own. My goal is to comment on timely bankruptcy issues in a simple, short and straightforward manner. My intention is to not give legal advice as much as an overall insight about current issues regarding bankruptcy. I welcome comments and hope you enjoy my effort.

Best,
Richard P. Olson

Maine Business Bankruptcies Down--I am quote on Front Page

I was quoted on the front page of the Portland Press Herald regarding the fall off in Business Bankruptcies in Maine.  The economy is getting better in Cumberland and York counties...really.  We are seeing a slight loosening of credit and an improving market for troubled and restructured assets.
