He has extensively analyzed how bankruptcy courts handle debtor-creditor agreements, lease rejections, and the recharacterization of debt claims as equity. His scholarship consistently bridges theoretical legal analysis with practical restructuring challenges faced by practitioners. As Editor-in-Chief of the Norton Journal of Bankruptcy Law and Practice and the Norton Annual Survey of Bankruptcy Law, Grohsgal significantly influences bankruptcy scholarship. His recent publications (2020-2023) demonstrate a concentrated focus on student loan bankruptcy discharge mechanisms, evolving interpretations of the absolute priority rule, and procedural innovations in Chapter 11 cases. The articles reveal growing scholarly attention to consumer bankruptcy issues within traditionally corporate-focused bankruptcy scholarship. Professor Grohsgal actively engages with policy development through congressional testimony, including written submissions for H.R. 1667 (Financial Institution Bankruptcy Act of 2017). He directs the Institute of Delaware Corporate and Business Law and previously chaired the Delaware State Bar Association's Bankruptcy Section.
