The 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, provides invaluable opportunities to connect with the industry’s leading experts. An expanded workshop format allows for spirited exchanges between panelists and attendees, and a customized learning experience.

Ira, who is also a member of the Conference Advisory Board,&nbsp;will serve as a speaker on the “Ethics Panel” session taking place from 11:45 to 1:00 p.m.&nbsp;

This panel will explore a range of topical ethical issues in the practice of bankruptcy law, both evergreen and emerging, such as the type and scope of judicial involvement in cases, the ethics of so-called “debtor-friendly” jurisdictions, how to navigate fiduciary duty issues when representing multiple constituents with an interest in the same matter, navigating the role of a litigation trustee, best practices for disclosure in the professional retention context, and considerations as practitioners and pro se litigants alike incorporate artificial intelligence into their bankruptcy workstreams and filings.

Moderator: Rachel Ehrlich Albanese, Debevoise &amp; Plimpton LLP
