This panel discusses idiosyncrasies and potential ethical traps of the attorney/client privilege laws in the Caymans and the U.S., and when those laws apply, even in recognition and other cross-border matters.

This panel will update attendees on the latest trends in recent chapter 15 cases and cross-border restructurings, identifying key legal principles, emerging patterns in judicial decision-making, and the broader implications these cases have for international insolvency practices.

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.

This interactive panel examines the myriad ways in which lawyers and other insolvency professionals are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) in their practices. The panelists consider the ethical implications of using (and not using) the advanced technologies now available to practitioners, and discuss how courts are responding to their use. Attendees also have the opportunity to engage with AI in real time during the session.
