The Intersection of Bankruptcy and the UCC

The Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) is a uniform act that was established to harmonize the laws of sales and commercial transactions. It has been substantially adopted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The UCC is divided into 11 Articles with each one addressing a different area of commercial law. Article 9 governs security interests in personal property and contains detailed rules regarding the creation, attachment, and perfection of security interests; the relative priorities of competing security interests; and remedies available to a creditor upon a borrower’s default. The navigation of the debtor-creditor relationship is at the heart of any bankruptcy proceeding. This webinar examines some of the key issues involving the interaction between a debtor and its secured creditors both before and after the filing of a bankruptcy, including the pre-bankruptcy perfection and priority of security interests, the post-bankruptcy protection of a secured creditor’s rights in a debtor’s collateral, and the options available for the parties to address and administer such collateral in the context of a bankruptcy proceeding.
