As data privacy concerns grow more urgent, bankruptcy professionals must be prepared to confront the unique challenges that arise when companies holding sensitive consumer data (like genetic information) enter financial distress.

The panelists then will examine the heightened risks and responsibilities for debtors, creditors and trustees handling data-heavy assets in restructuring and liquidation scenarios.
