Defending Against Bankruptcy Avoidance Actions

Webinar Overview

When a business faces bankruptcy, the financial ripples often extend far beyond the debtor itself. In many cases, the debtor or bankruptcy trustee may initiate legal actions to recover money or property transferred by the debtor before filing for bankruptcy. These “avoidance actions” are designed to ensure equitable treatment of creditors but can place significant burdens on those targeted.

• Key provisions of the Bankruptcy Code that govern avoidance actions.
• Common types of avoidance claims, such as preference and fraudulent transfer actions.
• Essential strategies for planning against potential avoidance claims before bankruptcy occurs.
