Single Real Estate Asset - Some Basic Concepts and Current Issues
Ben Kahn
May 5, 2011
With the uncertain and difficult times, we are seeing more and more failures with land development projects. Many of these developments qualify as single asset real estate (“SARE”). In 2005, Congress amended the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) to provide for certain specific treatment and provisions with respect to SARE. This talk is intended as an introduction to some issues arising out of SARE cases. This is not intended as a comprehensive discussion of the myriad issues that may arise in SARE cases, and, as is always the case in any Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, qualified bankruptcy counsel should be consulted.
Fradulent Transfers
Christy Myatt
April 28, 2011
Avoidence of fraudulent transfers differs from avoidance of preferences. Preferences represent legitimate payments honestly owed; a fraudulent transfer generally is viewed as one that skews the division of property among creditors and wrongfully depletes the estate—although such is not always the case. While preference avoidance aims to ensure that all unsecured creditors are treated equally, the avoidance of fraudulent transfer focuses on the relationship between the debtor and the creditor.

Preference Actions
Christy Myatt
April 21, 2011
The preference provisions of the Bankruptcy Code allow a trustee to recover transfers made to creditors during ninety (90) days prior to the petition date (the “preference period”) in order to share the value of the transferred property among all creditors. The concept of preference recovery was designed as way to help all creditors share the pain of a bankruptcy filing, and to prevent the debtor (or circumstances) from “preferring” one creditor over another.

Forbearance Agreements
Benjamin A. Kahn
April 7, 2011
Given the current economic conditions, creditors repeatedly are faced with the decision whether to foreclose upon or to repossess collateral that may or may not be readily convertible into proceeds, or to enter forbearance agreements with their borrowers in what frequently amounts to last-ditch efforts to see if the borrower might improve its business to the point that repayment of the obligation becomes a viable option. With many forbearance agreements being followed up by bankruptcy petitions, there are a number of considerations that lenders should have in mind when considering and drafting forbearance agreements. This webinar is intended to be a short overview of some of the central bankruptcy considerations in drafting forbearance agreements. It is not intended as a comprehensive analysis of all issues that may arise in the context of pre-bankruptcy work-outs or complex forbearance agreements. As with any debtor/creditor documents, parties should consult counsel.

Marc Manos and Manton Grier, Jr.
February 16, 2011
Beginning around 2004, the South Carolina Information Technology Management Office (“ITMO”) began looking at a “solutions-based” procurement model. ITMO believed that many government agencies over-specified their requests for technology solutions. The end result could be denying the agencies the benefit of contractors’ flexibility and expertise in designing the best and least expensive solutions. In other words, the specifications might be stifling the offerors’ creative ability to propose solutions.
