Irve Goldman Presents on Third Policy Releases at Northeast Bankruptcy Conference & Northeast Consumer Forum

Bankruptcy attorney Irve J. Goldman will participate in a panel discussion, "It's All About the Third-Party Releases" at the Northeast Bankruptcy Conference sponsored by the American Bankruptcy Institute.  The panel of five speakers will cover recent pertinent case law, analyze trends in increased district court oversight of bankruptcy courts, and examine the policy considerations for and against both consensual and nonconsensual nondebtor third-party releases, and the relevant standards for approval on the merits.  They will also discuss the scope of consent (opt-in vs. opt-out), the use of death-trap plan voting to encourage a consensual release, and the question of a bankruptcy court’s power to award them.
