Commercial Fraud Committee

ABI and Reid Collins & Tsai LLP have joined together to present a three-part webinar series focusing on recurring issues that arise in post-bankruptcy litigation involving trustees, and how to set up trustees for success in pursuing litigation claims. Session 1: Litigating Claims by Trustees: Avoiding Pitfalls at the Pre-Plan Stage, taking place on January 12 at 1 PM ET in partnership with ABI's Commercial Fraud Committee, will discuss issues that may arise or be addressed before confirmation of a bankruptcy plan.

Hosted by the Young & New Members and Commercial Fraud Committees A frequent element of bankruptcy cases is the assertion of claims against the directors and officers of the debtor, particularly when the debtor has a significant D&O insurance policy. This panel will explore the use of fiduciary-duty litigation in bankruptcy by dissecting the anatomy of a D&O lawsuit, including the types of claims asserted and their possible defenses. The panelists will also discuss how to analyze D&O insurance policies, and such key issues as whether the proceeds of D&O policies are considered property of the estate. Finally, the panelists will highlight best practices for debtors’ counsel faced with such claims, and show how to navigate potential ethical issues.
