Sponsored by ABI's Real Estate Committee The commercial real estate economy has weathered back-to-back storms: a global pandemic, which brought swift changes in demand across asset classes and geographic markets, and aggressive Federal Reserve actions to curb inflation with rate hikes, which have finally begun to ease. As we kick off a new year, the ABI Real Estate Committee is presenting a Commercial Real Estate Economic Outlook featuring Brandon Svec, National Director of Analytics for CoStar Group. Brandon will share his views on where things stand on a macroeconomic level, by property type, and on other forces impacting this sector, enabling ABI members to stay ahead when new real estate matters cross their desks. Plus, he frequently presents on the real estate economy to leading lending, development, acquisition, and brokerage firms across the nation. The program will cover key questions, such as: Which asset classes and which parts of the country are showing elevated distress that could present opportunities for ABI members in the year ahead? Is the change in the demand for office space permanent? What impact might the leadership transition in the White House and Congress have on the real estate economy? *This webinar is no longer approved for CLE credit in WI.

Hosted by ABI's Business Reorganization and Legislation Committees The increased debt limit applicable to subchapter V cases expired in June 2024. This webinar, hosted by ABI's Business Reorganization and Legislation Committees, will examine the effects of the increased debt limit's expiration, where small business debtors and their attorneys can go from here, best practices and potential workarounds, prospects for further congressional action and more.

This panel will explore key eligibility and plan confirmation issues in subchapter V cases, including what the lower debt threshold means for potential subchapter V debtors, their creditors and subchapter V trustees, as well as important considerations for facilitating and consummating a successful subchapter V plan.

Hosted by ABI's Consumer Bankruptcy Committee With the climate of COVID-19 in the rearview mirror, the consumer bankruptcy process now largely resembles the normalcy that had been elusive during the pandemic. However, remnants of COVID legislation have influenced escrow accounts of consumer debtors and consequently impacted mortgage creditor proofs of claim. Starting with Regulation X and how to perform an escrow analysis, this presentation will discuss escrow and proofs of claim, post-petition escrow accounting (payment change notices under Bankruptcy Rule 3002.1(b)), and the effects of the CARES Act on the treatment of escrow in chapter 13 proceedings.
