Description
Bankruptcy litigators representing clients in preference litigation must anticipate specific preference claims that arise in commonly attacked transactions such as payments to trade creditors, loan workouts, and payments to insiders.

Several cases in recent years have refined, limited, or expanded the standards, defenses, and limitations on preference actions. Our panel will discuss commonly attacked transactions such as payments to trade creditors, workouts, and payments to insiders.

The panel will analyze statutory defenses and other key defenses such as earmarking, critical vendor, mere conduit, assumed contract, claim waivers, and setoffs, and will discuss strategies to minimize exposure to preference claims.

Listen as our authoritative panel of bankruptcy practitioners guides you through the key defenses to preference actions and discusses recent developments in preference litigation and best practices for minimizing preference liability.
