The global economy is on its most uncertain footing since 2008, with customers more leveraged than ever. Rising interest rates and other pressures have triggered a rapid resurgence in business bankruptcy filings after the lull of 2021-2022. This program, featuring Lowenstein's Eric Chafetz and Michael Papandrea, is a refresher on bankruptcy fundamentals - and, for newer members who have not yet been through the downward side of a credit cycle, a bootcamp that builds a solid foundation of bankruptcy knowledge. The speakers will discuss the commencement of a customer’s bankruptcy case, Subchapter V small business bankruptcy, sources of case information, doing business with a debtor, proofs of claim, section 503(b)(9) priority claims, creditors’ committees, executory contracts, the customer’s eventual emergence (or not) from bankruptcy, and a brief overview of preference claims and defenses.
Speaker:
- Eric Chafetz, Partner, Lowenstein Sandler LLP
- Michael Papandrea, Counsel, Lowenstein Sandler LLP
Time: 8:30-9:45 a.m. ET
Location: Marriott Columbus Northwest, 5605 Blazer Parkway, Dublin, OH 43017
