Easy as “ABC”: An Overview of Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors

Presented by Lowenstein Sandler, CRF and FCFP
Tuesday, March 21, 2023 – 12:30pm ET

For many financially distressed middle market and smaller companies, bankruptcy has become far too complicated, expensive, and slow to be a viable option for liquidation. As a result, more and more insolvent companies are turning to assignments for the benefit of creditors (ABCs) as the preferred means of liquidating. The speakers will discuss the ins and outs of ABCs, how they differ from bankruptcy cases, how trade creditors should respond when a customer commences an ABC proceeding (including the need to timely file proofs of claim), the claims reconciliation process, and preference risk in certain ABC proceedings.

Speakers: Bruce Nathan and Mike Papandrea, Lowenstein Sandler LLP

We will discuss:

Benefits of being a secured creditor, especially in this uncertain economy
The necessary elements to a secured transaction
Overcoming objections to UCC filings and preliminary notices
