December 5: Webcast - What Commercial Litigators and their Clients Need to Know about Bankruptcy #MCLE

Some of the most complex commercial litigation matters are now being dealt with in bankruptcy court. These days, attorneys may have to appear in bankruptcy court to pursue matters that previously had been relegated to state or federal district courts. Although bankruptcy litigation and general civil litigation may appear similar, there are many important differences.
Join Practical Law and Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP for a free 60-minute webinar that will provide a basic framework for commercial litigators and other attorneys who do not have extensive experience in bankruptcy litigation. The presenters will review:
  • The types of bankruptcy proceedings and key players in a bankruptcy case.
  • The nature of the bankruptcy court, including the bankruptcy court’s jurisdiction and procedural rules, including requirements for removal and remand, and circumstances under which a court can withdraw the reference of a matter.
  • The effects of the automatic stay.
  • The discharge and dischargeability of debt.
  • The discovery process.
  • Proofs of claim.
