Health Care Insolvency
Health care is a key industry in which restructuring work will likely continue to grow in the coming years. This panel will discuss issues unique to health care insolvency, including sales of assets to for-profit and not-for-profit buyers, compliance with applicable nonbankruptcy law (i.e., federal and state regulations, including all state attorney general requirements), regulatory concerns such anti-trust laws and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the liabilities surrounding the transfer of Medicare provider agreements and Medicare and Medicaid recoupment and setoff.
Drafting the Most Effective Settlement Agreements
This program will explore techniques and issues in the drafting of effective settlement agreements both before and after a bankruptcy filing. Pre-filing drafting issues will include such “bankruptcy-proofing” matters as the risk of a paying party’s filing, including a preference or fraudulent transfer attack, the running of a statute of limitations, “bad-boy guarantees,” and the preservation of nondischargeability. Post-filing and general drafting issues will include governing law, conditions to effectiveness, completion mechanics, penalties, factual recitations, notice, scope of general releases, judicial involvement and follow-up mechanics.
How Much Momentum Will Momentive Create? Judicial Interpretation and Enforcement of Intercreditor Agreements
The more things change with intercreditor agreements, the more they stay the same — or so it seems.

This panel will focus on the recent Momentiveand TXU decisions, including the enforcement (or not) of make-whole provisions, acceleration and de-acceleration, and the use of tender offers/settlements to effect the payoffs of first-lien lenders. The panel will also examine the current trends in drafting and enforcement of various provisions, including voting assignments, pre-bankruptcy waivers and more.
Technology’s Impact on the Everyday Practice of Law
In the technology field, “Moore’s law” states that capacity doubles approximately every two years. This pace of change, the reduction in the use of paper and the corresponding increase in electronic data and “cloud storage” have given rise to a multitude of issues that significantly impact the everyday practice of law and must be considered by both law firms and lawyers. This session will cover best practices to minimize risks to clients and minimize malpractice risks to lawyers. Topics will include preservation or loss of the attorney/client privilege, the disclosure of confidential information or data protected by privacy laws, the use of multiple email accounts, forwarded and “reply all” emails, the use or prohibition of the use of social media, the encryption of documents, the scrubbing of metadata from documents, and e-discovery.
