Please join us AT NO COST for an informative and lively discussion of some of the more challenging issues that insolvency professionals face, including is there a Chapter 9 in your future? If bankruptcy doesn’t work or is too expensive, is there an alternative? How do recent opinions by the United States Supreme Court and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affect our daily practice? Finally, how can we safely loan money to our insolvent businesses, and equally important, how can we pay it back without facing liability? Our panelists include leading academics, stellar practitioners and learned judges. Anyone interested in these discussions—including financial advisors, attorneys, bankers and students—are all welcome to attend.
