The panel will also debate whether the Chapter 11 Reform Commission’s recommendations adequately address such issues. Cases to be discussed include Tribune Co. fraudulent conveyance litigation, Sun Capital, ICL Holding and Sabine Oil & Gas Corp., et al.

This webinar will focus on how pending criminal or regulatory proceedings may affect the estate’s pursuit of litigation claims arising from a commercial fraud case. Speakers will address the Fifth Amendment, coordinating with the criminal and regulatory authorities for items such as file-access requests to the SEC, potential stays of civil litigation, asset forfeitures, and more! This panel not only includes attorneys who have dealt with these issues, but also attorneys who previously worked for the U.S. Attorney’s Office or the SEC.

HOSTED BY THE ASSET SALES COMMITTEE
