2019 Caribbean Insolvency Symposium

In 2013, ABI issued its Final Report of the ABI National Ethics Task Force, and the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees set forth new guidelines for reviewing applications for compensation and reimbursement of expenses filed under § 330 of the Bankruptcy Code for attorneys in larger chapter 11 cases. In addition, the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas have experienced developments with respect to retention and compensation of attorneys. This panel will discuss the ethical implications of these developments.

This panel will provide an update on procedural developments in bankruptcy cases, covering issues such as personal jurisdiction, service of process, and perhaps enforcement. There will also be an update on Stern and its practical implications.
