This free bankruptcy database indexes large publicly owned companies that have filed for bankruptcy. Lynn M. LoPucki developed this tool for journalists.

WebBRD is the most powerful business bankruptcy research tool on the web. WebBRD enables you to design and instantly execute an empirical study of large, public company bankruptcy cases in seconds — in the most complete, accurate data
available anywhere.

WebBRD is a byproduct of my empirical research on large, public company bankruptcies. Over a period of almost twenty years, I have collected the data from those studies — more than 140 fields of data on each of more than 860 cases — in the Bankruptcy Research Database.
