Antitrust law has a great impact on best practices credit professionals should follow when making credit decisions and obtaining information from and communicating with other credit professionals. This presentation provides practical guidance on avoiding antitrust violations in communications and sharing information among credit professionals, including what information can and cannot be exchanged with other credit professionals, both one-on-one and in a credit group or other group setting and information exchanges when involved in an involuntary bankruptcy petition and creditors’ committees.
The program, featuring Lowenstein partners Zarema A. Jaramillo, Jonathan L. Lewis, and Bruce S. Nathan, offers an overview of antitrust law governing these issues, in addition to helpful do’s and don’ts for credit professionals participating in credit group and other meetings, creditors’ committees and involuntary bankruptcy petitions. The speakers will also discuss the Robinson-Patman Act and its impact on credit decisions, including when confronted with requests for extended terms. Finally, practical answers to frequently asked questions about topics such as what a person should do if present during impermissible communications and strategies in response to requests for extended credit terms and joining involuntary bankruptcy petitions will be provided.
