A Louisiana Chapter 11 Order Authorizing Retention of Attorney is a court order issued by the Bankruptcy Court in the state of Louisiana, which allows a debtor (or debtor in possession) to retain the services of an attorney to act on their behalf in the bankruptcy case. This order grants the attorney the authority to represent the debtor in all phases of the bankruptcy proceeding, including filing and filing documents, negotiating with creditors and other parties, and defending the debtor in court proceedings. The two different types of Louisiana Chapter 11 Order Authorizing Retention of Attorney are: 1. Interim Order: An interim order is issued when a debtor first files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It allows the debtor to retain the services of an attorney to represent them during the bankruptcy process. 2. Final Order: A final order is issued after the Bankruptcy Court has reviewed the debtor's plan of reorganization and found it to be sufficient. This order grants the attorney the authority to continue to represent the debtor in all matters related to the bankruptcy case.
