The Bankruptcy Card & How to Play It
A road map for success in troubled times
Why attend?
The economic downturn is growing wider and deeper. The financial markets are in disarray, foreclosures are reaching record levels, and access to capital is becoming more challenging by the week. In this dismal economic environment, business and consumer attorneys must be able to recognize and respond effectively to a client’s financial distress. At the same time, creditor attorneys must understand how best to protect the interests of their clients in these situations. This program gives the nonbankruptcy practitioner an understanding of how to employ bankruptcy strategies to enable business and consumer clients to avoid bankruptcy relief. It also provides valuable insights into how creditors’ and debtors’ counsel actually utilize bankruptcy filings to respond to or fend off potential calamitous events. Attend this program and get the practical advice you need to protect your clients.
