James Sullivan to Speak at Financial Poise Webinar "Defending Against Bankruptcy Avoidance Actions"

James Sullivan, partner in Seyfarth's Corporate department, will serve as a panelist at the Financial Poise webinar, "Defending Against Bankruptcy Avoidance Actions," on July 9.

When a business faces bankruptcy, the financial ripples often extend far beyond the debtor itself. In many cases, the debtor or bankruptcy trustee may initiate legal actions to recover money or property transferred by the debtor before filing for bankruptcy. These “avoidance actions” are designed to ensure equitable treatment of creditors but can place significant burdens on those targeted. 

In this webinar, an expert panel will delve into the critical aspects of bankruptcy avoidance actions, including: key provisions of the Bankruptcy Code that govern avoidance actions; common types of avoidance claims, such as preference and fraudulent transfer actions; essential strategies for planning against potential avoidance claims before bankruptcy occurs; and practical considerations and defenses for businesses or individuals facing these actions.

The webinar will provide valuable insights to help protect a company’s interests and navigate the complexities of bankruptcy avoidance litigation effectively. Learn more here.
