Presentation: 2020 - The Year of Living Dangerously (Economically Speaking)

Dr. Chris Kuehl, Armada Corporate Intelligence

By all accounts 2020 is going to be a complex and challenging year. What will the trade and tariff war look like? Is there a real chance for a recession? What role will politics play as far as the economy is concerned and will it be another case of "It's the Economy - Stupid".

Presentation: Bankruptcy Bootcamp

Lowenstein Sandler/Alvarez & Marsal/Olympus Peak Asset Management

As we head into an election year and amid forecasts of economic turbulence, we think bankruptcy navigation and creditor's rights would be relavant and useful topic. 

The program first focuses on the importance of understanding the papers filed at the beginning of the Chapter 11 case, the impact of the automatic stay that arises when bankruptcy is filed, and obtaining critical vendor protection. The Chapter 11 budget is the best tool to assess the risks of administrative insolvency, and the program will provide budgetary clues for making such an assessment. The speakers will then address the Chapter 11 claims process, how to asser claims and the defenses that can reduce recovery on claims. Next, the speakers will discuss critical case developments like asset sales and plan confirmation, and the financial analyses that relate to these important case milestones. Finally, the speakers will discuss the importance of creditors' committees in Chapter 11 cases, best practices for defending preference claims, and time permitting, the Chapter 11 disclosure statement and plan process.  

The company’s operational compliance experts will be onsite to discuss Amazon chargebacks and shortages, the process for disputing and submitting open statements, root-cause analysis, and the benefits of operational compliance health reporting.
