Talk Softly and Carry a Big Stick: Options for Businesses in Financial Distress
  
Date: Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024
Time: 3-4 PM (ET)
Speakers: Lisa C. Thompson, Esq., LL.M
 
Member price: $25
Non-member Price: $75
 
Description: A business in financial distress does not necessarily need to shut down and it also doesn't necessarily need to file bankruptcy. Sometimes all a business needs is breathing room and to control some of its creditors so it may reorganize. There are a few paths that it can take. Bankruptcy may be a great option, but it may not be the best option based on the goals of the business owners. Outside of bankruptcy, there are certain state laws that may assist with creditor negotiation or shutting down without filing a bankruptcy. Whatever the path, it is imperative to protect business owners that have personal guarantees. This seminar will cover the options for shutting down or reorganizing a business while protecting its owners.
Issue Preclusion
  
Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024
3-4:30 PM (ET)
Speakers: M. Jonathan Hayes, Esq.
Hon. Meredith Jury (Ret.)
Hon. Laura Taylor (Ret.)
 
Member Price: $35
Non-member Price: $85

Description: This program will discuss issues bankruptcy attorneys deal with every day. What is the legal effect of a prior non-bankruptcy court ruling on a pending bankruptcy case? The issue runs the gamut from the ruling or judgment precludes any further consideration of the facts and/or issues to the ruling has no preclusive effect and will be litigated entirely in the bankruptcy proceeding. We will discuss Rooker-Feldman, claim preclusion (fka res judicata), issue preclusion (fka as collateral estoppel) and a few related topics such as judicial estoppel and Law of the Case. Presenters have more than 120 years of experience in bankruptcy.
