This seminar will provide an overview of best practices for in-house and outside counsel of Lenders, Landlords and Logistics Companies to address their commercial borrowers, commercial tenants and commercial customers in a downturn economy prior to, and during, Chapter 11 bankruptcies. A contextual roadmap will be provided for the 3 general phases of a Chapter 11 case, where Debtors want to Stabilize, Attack and then Emerge, while Creditors will want to Push, Posture and Maximize Value. Will discuss preferred ways to collateralize debt, and then address offense/defense for each side in Chapter 11 including protections during Chapter 11, leveraging positions for negotiation for better treatment in the Chapter 11 proceedings and Plan Confirmation, and the different legal ways to maximize value in the various phases of Chapter 11, including minimizing claw-backs or other attacks on debt held by main groups of creditors in a Chapter 11 case.
