Webinar: Maurice Wutscher’s Alan Hochheiser to Give Guidance on Bankruptcy Code’s New Preference Provisions

Aug. 5, 2020 ­— Maurice Wutscher bankruptcy attorney Alan Hochheiser will give guidance on the Bankruptcy Code’s new preference provisions now in place as a result of the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 during a webinar on Sept. 1 at 1 pm ET.

The SBRA amended Section 547(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, creating new requirements and new defenses that must be considered before commencing preference actions.

Mr. Hochheiser will discuss the uncertainty that surrounds what the new elements of Section 547(b) require a trustee to do and will further explain topics ranging from “what reasonable due diligence in the circumstances of the case” is, to the consequences if a court finds that these conditions are not met.

Mr. Hochheiser is a leading practitioner in the areas of creditors’ rights and bankruptcy law. He advises and represents businesses, regional and national banks, credit unions, equipment lessors and other lenders, as well as secured and unsecured creditors.

The webinar is being presented by Strafford and will also offer a recorded version. Click here to register for the live webinar.
