2015 Annual Spring Meeting

Luncheon Keynote at the Annual Spring Meeting

This panel will discuss the historic significance of the General Motors bankruptcy case with an in-depth discussion about the issuance of public units in a major bankruptcy. The session will also include the challenges addressed by the team and the value of a freely traded unit.

This panel will focus on the continuing role of creditors’ committees in the current chapter 11 environment. As the fulcrum of security moves up the balance sheet, the utility of committees has been coming under attack. Although historically committees have consisted primarily of trade creditors, they now regularly include bondholders, indenture trustees, the PBGC and unions. Learn about the challenges for professionals representing committees and the way committee members evaluate how to fulfill their fiduciary duties.

A panel of judges will discuss current issues that divide the circuits and other hot topics relevant to both consumer and business bankruptcy practitioners.
