Receiverships under state law have become an increasingly popular and meaningful alternative to bankruptcy, specifically when there are events of fraud, misappropriations of assets and related regulatory-body involvement. This panel will examine the basics of such receiverships and, given the current state of federal law (which excludes cannabis-related businesses from bankruptcy), will use the cannabis industry as an example to discuss the details, benefits and potential pitfalls of state court receiverships for highly regulated businesses.
