Program Description
As more and more companies and individuals file for bankruptcy, the dockets of the judges of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court - District of Colorado have exploded with new cases. At the same time, the important local rules and local forms of the bankruptcy court are undergoing significant substantive changes. These changes affect virtually all aspects of practice before the bankruptcy court. From threshold standing issues, to rules addressing contested matters and conversion issues, to rules regulating how and when attorneys can “unbundle” their services when taking on a bankruptcy matter, these changes are definitely “need to know” information for those involved in bankruptcy proceedings!
Attend this informative, full-day program and shorten the process of learning the changes to the local rules and forms. The Bankruptcy Court's judges, experienced attorneys from the U.S. Trustee's Office, senior staff of the Bankruptcy Court, and distinguished local bankruptcy attorneys will guide you, step-by-step, through the new rules and forms that affect your practice! Each presentation will include one of Colorado's Bankruptcy Court judges, ably assisted by other members of the distinguished faculty. The program concludes with a useful judges' forum that will bring together all five of Colorado's Bankruptcy Court judges in a great panel presentation!
If you represent debtors, creditors, or other stakeholders in the bankruptcy process, you owe it to yourself and to your clients to get up to speed fast on the important new changes to the local bankruptcy rules and forms!
