Gain an understanding of the best bankruptcy preference that correlates with specific client needs.
Preference law is controversial because it is designed to punish creditors which are paid in advance of a bankruptcy filing by that creditor's debtor. It's also extremely frustrating because it punishes creditors that are conscientious in being paid either out of economic necessity or company policy. This topic will explain strategies for creditors to proactively avoid a preference challenge, outline defenses, many of which are oftentimes overlooked, and educate debtors as to when preference recoveries can work to their benefit.
