From January 2022 to January of this year, across all categories, bankruptcy filings are up by 19 percent across the country. At the same time, foreign investment in the United States continues to surge causing a shift in how foreign bankruptcies are trending. For those major players and financial institutions moving money to a foreign country like the United States, they are even more diligent in finding ways to protect their investors back home.

Bankruptcy and Reorganization Practice Group Chair Andrea Hartley in Miami explained that the national team is closely watching cross-border activity and advising clients that may be facing financial strain. 

The Daily Business Review wrote: "Akerman has been keeping an eye on the foreign bankruptcy filings trending upwards, and it’s expecting more to come, said Miami-based Andrea Hartley, chair of Akerman’s bankruptcy and reorganization practice group."

"In anticipation, her group is actively looking to continue expanding to keep pace with the market demands."
