The panel will discuss multiple issues that arise when representing debtors in bankruptcy that may cause potential malpractice issues. The panel is comprised of seasoned bankruptcy attorneys and a well-respected recently retired bankruptcy judge. This is an all-star panel.
 
Why you should attend: Bankruptcy practice can be a malpractice minefield, as it crosses many other areas of practice. This is a great introduction for attorneys new to bankruptcy practice with strategies for identifying potential malpractice pitfalls and how to avoid them. It is also a fantastic refresher for seasoned attorneys to brush up on their ethics and malpractice safeguards.

Latest Bankruptcy News
On remand from the Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit found that, under the Supreme Court’s objective standard, the debtor’s active post-bankruptcy litigation in state court of the terms of his separation from his business partnership established sufficient cause for his business partner creditors to have a reasonable belief that he had “returned to the fray” and that their motion for attorney’s fees would not violate the discharge injunction. Lorenzen v. Taggart, No. 16-35402 (9th Cir. Nov. 24, 2020).
Declining to extend its 2002 holding in Walls, the Ninth Circuit found that a Chapter 13 debtor who fully paid the creditor’s claim prior to completion of his plan was not precluded from pursuing an FDCPA claim based on the creditor’s post-discharge collection efforts. Manikan v. Peters & Freedman, L.L.P., No. 19-55393 (9th Cir. Nov. 25, 2020).
