important updates and issues relevant to bankruptcy practitioners.
This year's annual symposium is no different and will provide practical
discussions on the following:
- State of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Massachusetts
- Loan modifications from the perspective of both
debtor's and creditor's counsel
- Case law updates
- Bankruptcy filing nuances: tips and traps presented by
the court's law clerks
- Ethical considerations facing bankruptcy practitioners
