Join the panelists as these experts from across the country debate which bankruptcy decision was the most important of all time!

Secured lenders work with debtors and committees in large chapter 11 cases to modify the environment in which the chapter 11 estate proceeds. This panel will examine the contemporary attributes of negotiated modifications and accommodations in connection with cash-collateral stipulations, DIP financing agreements, bidding procedure orders and chapter 11 plans. The panel will also consider whether any of the typical compromises are questionable in light of decisions, such as Jevic, that challenge the ability of courts and constituents to modify the structure of the chapter 11 playing field.

This panel will help sort through the following questions: What districts are adopting the model chapter 13 plan? What changes are being made to current form plans to conform to the requirements of the model form? How will the shortened deadline for filing proofs of claim affect chapter 13 administration? How will the new rules promulgated by the CFPB affect mortgage lenders and consumers?
