Asset Sales

Hosted by Commercial and Regulatory Law & Secured Credit Committees

This panel will discuss the changes and trends in dealing with distressed commercial real estate, including commercial office buildings, high-rise office buildings, medical offices, apartments, nursing homes and shopping centers, among other assets. We also will discuss loan workouts, remedies for distressed loans such as receiverships, foreclosures, deed of trust sales, deeds in lieu of foreclosure, guarantees, abandonment or turnover of assets and bankruptcy, and landlord/tenant issues and their impact on the landlord’s loan.

Bankruptcy courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. Given that parties can neither waive nor consent to subject-matter jurisdiction, this panel will explore the limits of 28 U.S.C. § 1334 and the effectiveness of the retention of jurisdiction provisions in sale orders and confirmation orders. The panelists will discuss recent decisions on the scope of “arising under,” “arising in” and “related to” jurisdiction.
