A meeting announcement advises:
“You’ve probably attended numerous programs in the last few years on real-estate receiverships, and now you are ready for something a bit different. Join us…for an inside look into the receiverships of tomorrow: restructuring, liquidating, and regulatory receiverships. As the real-estate market generally improves, the focus of receivers, counsel, and clients alike will turn to these non-real-estate forms of receiverships. A shift in focus and a fresh dose of creative energy will be needed to reach optimal outcomes for public and private interest-holders. Two specialized panels will address the benefits and unique challenges of these different types of receiverships. Sign-up and join us for a look at the ‘next big things’ in the remedies and receivership worlds.”
The speakers will be attorneys Kathy L. Bazoian of Phelps, Danning, Gill Diamond & Kollitz, LLP; Richard P. Ormond of Buchalter Nemer; and Joel Bruce Weinberg, Insolvency Services Group Inc., along with Ted Lanes, chief financial officer for Advanced Development & Investment, Inc., and Thomas Seaman, chartered financial analyst for The Thomas Seaman Company.
