The LOS ANGELES BANKRUPTCY FORUM, THE FINANCIAL LAWYERS CONFERENCE, THE TURNAROUND MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION, and the CALIFORNIA RECEIVERS FORUM held a bankruptcy professionals' holiday reception in downtown Los Angeles to support the efforts of Public Counsel, Neighborhood Legal Services, the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, and others who contribute to those in need of bankruptcy-related services in our community. Everyone had a jolly good time.
The October 22 dinner program was entitled "Optimal Strategies to Defend and Insulate Preferential Transfers from Avoidance." This was a back to basics program on the practical aspects of developing and presenting the preference action defenses, principally ordinary course and new value. The program also discussed pre-bankruptcy planning to insulate clients from preference exposure. Our speakers were Greg Abrams, J. Scott Bovitz, and Aram Ordubegian. Abrams showed us a few of his secret charts, Ordubegian gave us his strategy for defending preference claims, and Bovitz walked around a lot.
