1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ESTThis session teaches creditors’ counsel how to use the bankruptcy process offensively to recover assets a debtor has transferred away. Attorneys will learn how to force debtors into bankruptcy through involuntary petitions, leverage Rule 2004 examinations to trace hidden assets, pursue avoidance actions under §§ 544 and 548, and protect discharge objection rights under §§ 523 and 727. Attendees leave with a tactical framework for deploying each tool in sequence, from pre-filing investigation through plan confirmation.
Gary M. Kaplan
Jonathan Gopman 2:10 pm - 3:10 pm ESTThis session equips creditors’ attorneys with the statutory and tactical framework for attacking fraudulent transfers made to spouses, domestic asset protection trusts, and family LLCs under the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act. Attendees will learn how to deploy badges of fraud, the UVTA’s insolvency presumption, and emerging reverse veil-piercing doctrine to unwind insider transfers. By the end of the session, attorneys will be able to identify common structural deficiencies in debtor-created entities, select the correct claim (actual vs. constructive fraud), and avoid the pleading and limitations mistakes that sink otherwise strong cases.
