Like the NorthLegal General Bankruptcy Conference (which has already been presented in 2013), the NorthLegal Advanced Bankruptcy Conference will cover all aspects of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Unlike the general conference, the NorthLegal Advanced Bankruptcy Conference will assume participants are already familiar with the concept of bankruptcy, the differences between the types of bankruptcy, what the most common documents in a bankruptcy filing look like, and the general principles of the automatic stay. These issues may be touched upon, but will not be covered in detail.
The NorthLegal Advanced Bankruptcy Conference will address in detail issues that arise in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases (including secured debt and unsecured debt) and how to handle those cases. The discussion will include complex (and often controversial) issues, such as credit reporting, preferences, liens on deposits, whether deposits should be surrendered to the bankruptcy trustee without waiting for a request, the sending of periodic statements, whether checking accounts and other services may—or must—be denied, whether you may refuse to accept payments if a debtor does not reaffirm, and more. (Watch for more information to be posted here in the coming weeks regarding topics to be covered.)
In order to allow participants to focus on advanced issues, the NorthLegal Advanced Bankruptcy Conference will only be open to those who either—
• have attended the general NorthLegal Bankruptcy Conference (in Las Vegas, Washington DC, Harrisburg, St. Petersburg, Orlando or Nashville) at least once, or
• have at least 5 years of practical experience handling consumer bankruptcy cases in a financial institution or legal environment
Each participant will receive extensive handout materials that outline, discuss, and analyze advanced issues in bankruptcy law as they pertain to consumer lending. Watch here for additional information as the course is being developed.
Speakers
The primary speaker for the conference is Eric North. Eric is a practicing
attorney who has devoted his legal practice to representing the interests of
credit unions and other lending institutions for more than twenty-five years.
Prior to beginning the practice of law, Eric worked within various financial
institutions in lending, collections, and operations departments, and managed
several of those institutions. This experience allows Eric to bring practical,
as well as "legal" information
to those who attend his programs.
In addition to practicing law, Eric dedicates a significant portion of his time
each year to the training of hundreds of consumer credit professionals throughout
the United States through local programs presented on behalf of dozens of state and national trade associations, through monthly NorthLegal Webinars, and through
the annual NorthLegal Bankruptcy Conference.
It is anticipated there may be one or more guest speakers at the conference, although that is not for certain. Further information will be posted here as it becomes available.
