Vicarious Liability in the Bankruptcy Contact (Bartenwerfer) Section 523(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Other Fun Areas of the Law!
The panel will discuss issues concerning vicarious liability and the expanding body of law under the Section 523(a), the “Innocent Spouse” defense, the expanding body of law imputing liability to the debtor for the action of one director or officer. Bartenwerfer, Mallinckrodt, Drivetime . . . WE HAVE ALL THE HITS!!!
Speakers:
Jack Rose, Jack Rose Law, Bronxville, NY
David H. Leigh, Ray Quinney & Nebeker PC, Salt Lake City, UT
Agency and Law Firm Expectations
Agencies and law firms make up two-thirds of the triadic system. How these two components interact can have a direct, material impact on client satisfaction and retention. This session will feature an agency representative and an attorney identifying and discussing critical points where the relationship can be best maximized to create efficient, effective returns for clients. What can agencies do before law firms get involved to set up lawyers for success in litigation? What can law firms do to give agencies what they need to communicate effectively with creditors? What common missteps can be avoided?
Speakers:
Timothy Grimes, Barr Credit Services, Inc., Tucson, AZ
Benjamin E. Kelly, Law Office of Benjamin E. Kelly, PS, Seattle, WA
