Produced on November 06, 2020
Course Information
Course Description
No matter their practice area, many attorneys will at some point find themselves working with clients considering bankruptcy or in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings. If the client is also filing for divorce, involved in business litigation, facing criminal charges, or otherwise involved in the legal system, potential or current bankruptcy proceedings may have an impact on their existing legal matter. Therefore it is valuable for all attorneys to have a basic understanding of the bankruptcy process, different kinds of bankruptcy, and the collateral effects of bankruptcy and insolvency on a client.
Presented by Scott J. Goldstein, this program will benefit both experienced and novice practitioners who are unfamiliar with the bankruptcy system and how it might impact their clients.
Learning Objectives:
- Protect your clients’ claims when they have to file for bankruptcy relief
- Collaborate with bankruptcy counsel when your clients file for bankruptcy relief
- Work with bankruptcy trustees when representing a bankruptcy client
- Avoid stay violations
- Deal with defendants/opposing parties who end up in bankruptcy

Very Useful. Thank You.
Scott does a good job in presenting the materials in an easy-to-understand format. This was great. Thank you.
Good introduction. always felt I should know more about bankruptcy. Although it rarely is an issue I deal with, I am doing more pro bono now in which it may be relevant.
Good presentation and advice for non bankruptcy lawyers.
Good course
Awesome course
very informed presenter
Helpful primer.
This lecture was an overview as I have come across bankruptcy frequency in my time during litigation. I feel like more attorneys should watch this lecture as the current state of affairs is making bankruptcy more prevalent.
This was a very informative presentation. Excellent job.
