Bankruptcy Act Implications Teleconference
The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005: Major Implications for Commercial Debtor/Creditor Relations (A Steptoe-Sponsored Event)June 29, 2005
Steptoe partner Greg R. Yates will lead the one-hour teleconference on Wednesday, June 29, 2005, at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Join Steptoe’s bankruptcy and corporate attorneys as they discuss the new Bankruptcy Act and its implications for commercial debtor/creditor relationships.
The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-8) makes the most sweeping changes in bankruptcy law in a generation. While most press coverage has focused on the consumer aspects of the law, major revisions to provisions will affect most commercial debtor/creditor relationships.
Most of the law’s provisions will apply to bankruptcy cases filed after October 17, 2005, although some provisions are already effective.
The seminar will cover many aspects of the new law including the following:
- Expansion of Reclamation Claims
- Broadened Preference Defenses
- Trade Creditor Strategies
- New Small Business Rules
- New Grounds for the Appointment of a Trustee
- Single-Asset Cases
- Limits on Exclusivity
Steptoe partner Greg R. Yates will lead the one-hour teleconference. There is no charge to participate.
Date : Wednesday, June 29, 2005
Time: 1:00 p.m. EST
