ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The ABI New York City Bankruptcy Conference, one of ABI’s largest and most prestigious events—and one of the most significant gatherings of insolvency and restructuring professionals in the New York metro area—is the place to hear from the best and learn practical techniques and tips for meeting the challenges of today’s evolving insolvency landscape.
Participating in this advanced-level educational forum, designed especially for experienced insolvency professionals, will provide invaluable opportunities to connect with the industry’s leading experts. Its expanded workshop format—each of the six concurrent breakout sessions will be presented twice with different panelists, offering attendees expanded points of view on the same topics—allows for spirited exchanges between panelists and attendees, and a customized learning experience.
Blank Rome partner Ira L. Herman, who is also a member of the Conference Advisory Board, will serve as a panelist for the “Legal and Practical Issues and Implications of Enforcing Judgments Inside and Outside of Bankruptcy” session.
ABOUT THE SESSION
This panel will discuss and explore the legal bases and practical implications of enforcing a judgment in the context of a bankruptcy case and utilizing state law procedures and remedies. In the context of a bankruptcy case, the panelists will explore issues related to judgments that are nondischargeable or may be nondischargeable, relief from the automatic stay, foreign judgments and their interplay with chapter 15 proceedings, and judgments against nondebtor subsidiaries where assets of the debtor entities might be implicated. Outside of bankruptcy, the panelists will focus on the judgment enforcement mechanisms and tools that exist under New York law, as well as domesticating a foreign or federal court judgment from another state for enforcement in New York.
