    Event Summary:
    In the face of a global pandemic, bankruptcy mechanisms have become increasingly relevant. With the spike of COVID-19-related business bankruptcy filings, post-confirmation liquidation and litigation trusts have been utilized more frequently.

    However, the role of these methods in the resolution of Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases also highlights the need for an in-depth understanding of potential issues and implications involved. Moreover, the creation of post-confirmation litigation or liquidation trust requires a well-written and strategic reorganization plan because of its complexity.

Reece (Fennemore Craig, P.C) will provide an in-depth analysis of the critical aspects of post-confirmation liquidation and litigation trusts as well as their potential effects on your business.
