What do you do when your client comes to you in an emergency, and what is and is not an emergency for the purpose of first-day motions? How do you prepare for a bankruptcy filing with virtually no time to spare? How do you stabilize operations through a short transition, and what do you do if there is an out-of-the-gate motion to dismiss for bad faith? This panel will aim to help you keep your calm in a crisis so that your efforts culminate in a successful case.
Learning Objectives:
- Attendees will recognize common crisis scenarios that arise immediately before and after a bankruptcy filing and distinguish true emergencies requiring first-day relief.
- Attendees will develop strategies for rapidly preparing a bankruptcy filing and first-day motions when time and information are limited.
- Attendees will examine practical approaches for stabilizing operations and responding to early case challenges, including motions to dismiss for alleged bad faith.
