2015 Midwestern Bankruptcy Institute and Consumer Forum, 2014

Any Midwest attorney is likely to represent a client in Delaware or the S.D.N.Y. at some point. For example, you're likely to have clients facing claims litigation, trying to preserve executory contact or lease rights, or facing a preference complaint. Would you like a crash course in representing your clients in these districts and practice like you have years of experience in front of these courts? If so, please join us for a program that will cover the most common situations a Midwest attorney might encounter.

What happens when there is a failure of disclosure in consumer cases? This panel will cover current disclosure requirements, client intake tips regarding disclosure, and the ramifications of failing to disclose (i.e., denial of discharge, bad-faith dismissal, judicial estoppel, criminal prosecution, etc.).

On the Internet, no one knows you’re an attorney (unless you have a website, blog, LinkedIn profile, Twitter account and/or other social media outlet). This panel will discuss the use of the Internet and social media in your practice.
