Webinar: Two Roads Converge: Navigating the Intersections of Insolvency and Insurance Law

The Insurance Law Committee and the Bankruptcy Law Committee of the Business Law Section of the California Lawyers Association are jointly presenting a webinar panel to explore the various intersections between bankruptcy and insurance matters. A debtor’s or third party’s insurance policies are often viewed as a source of recovery by trustees and debtors-in-possession. Spotting and navigating such issues is oftentimes complicated by the fact that in the context of an appointed trustee there may not be anyone at the client to identify the claims or walk the trustee through the debtor’s documents.
