Subordination and Recharacterization of Claims in Bankruptcy: Avoiding Pitfalls for Lenders, Creditors, and PE Sponsors

Blank Rome Partner Ira L. Herman will co-present Subordination and Recharacterization of Claims in Bankruptcy: Avoiding Pitfalls for Lenders, Creditors, and PE Sponsors, a Strafford live 90-minute CLE webinar taking place Wednesday, March 17, 2021, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. EDT.

The webinar, subtitled “Navigating Circuit Split in Bringing or Defending Bankruptcy Preference Actions,” will present best practices for counsel to lenders, creditors, and private equity sponsors to structure transactions and lending practices to protect their claims and maintain their priority status against junior and unsecured creditors or borrowers facing insolvency or bankruptcy.

Topics will include:

• How have the courts defined “inequitable conduct” to justify equitable subordination?
• How do courts analyze potential subordination of claims related to the purchase or sale of securities?
• What factors do the courts use to distinguish a loan transaction from equity investment to justify recharacterization?
• How can PE sponsors loaning money to their portfolio companies protect themselves from attack?
