New Generation Research

New Generation Research is the company behind BankruptcyData, a commercial information service for United States corporate bankruptcy, distress, and restructuring research. The platform follows companies from pre-filing warning signs through Chapter 11 proceedings, asset sales, plans of reorganization, and final outcomes.^[1]

BankruptcyData combines court-derived records, reporting, structured historical information, and alerts in a research environment for law firms, advisers, investors, lenders, and restructuring professionals. It also licenses data and provides API feeds for internal analytics, automation, proprietary research, and AI-related workflows.^[1]

What It Does

Coverage begins with distress indicators such as defaults, litigation, receiverships, and liability-management exercises. After a filing, the service tracks petitions and schedules, first-day motions, debtor-in-possession financing, cash-collateral decisions, docket events, stakeholder developments, Section 363 sales, auctions, disclosure statements, voting, confirmation, emergence, liquidation, recoveries, and adviser participation.^[1]

The platform organizes these events with capital structures, stakeholder positions, case intelligence, historical outcomes, benchmarking, and customizable notifications. Its purpose is to turn dispersed court records and case developments into searchable timelines and structured fields rather than requiring users to monitor each docket manually.^[1]

Data and Methodology

New Generation Research reports an archive spanning more than 45 years, a structured filing database covering more than 25 years, over 20 years of distress reporting, and more than 600,000 historical bankruptcy-activity records.^[1] These are company-published measures. The reviewed pages do not disclose a full data dictionary, criteria for every distress flag, update-latency statistics, or an independent completeness audit.

The service necessarily mixes primary court material with editorial organization and reporting. Users should therefore distinguish filed documents and court orders from provider-created summaries, classifications, and alerts when relying on a record for legal or investment decisions.

Products and Delivery

The browser platform offers case research, monitoring, alerts, and historical comparison. Enterprise customers can receive licensed structured datasets and API feeds for integration into internal systems.^[1] Public resources on the site include a U.S. bankruptcy-court directory, a trustee directory, a short history of bankruptcy, and a glossary.^[2] Access to the commercial platform is arranged through a demonstration; no standard public price schedule appears in the reviewed material.

Buyers and Use Cases

Law firms and advisers can monitor proceedings and research precedents; lenders and investors can follow defaults, financing, recoveries, and restructuring outcomes; and data teams can incorporate bankruptcy events into credit models or other analysis.^[1] The company describes itself as the database of record for restructuring and claims extensive AmLaw 100 use, but no independent usage audit was available, so those statements are treated as marketing claims rather than verified market-share facts.

Corporate Information and Verification

The site identifies BankruptcyData as a New Generation Research company and lists an address in Manchester, Massachusetts.^[1] A direct request for the apparent New Generation Research profile on Crunchbase returned an access-denied response, preventing independent verification of founders, financing, ownership changes, or a founding date.^[3] No such details are asserted here, and named clients are omitted because they were not established by the accessible sources.
