Ask the Experts
Start thinking of penetrating
questions to query the “Ask the Experts” panel. This is your chance to
grill receivership experts from around the state with the tough
questions you’ve always wanted to ask. Alan Mirman, who regularly
represents receivers and lenders seeking appointment of receivers, will
moderate as you put the panelists on the spot. Steve Donell has broad
experience in various types of state and federal receivership cases. Bob
Greeley has operated a wide range of northern California businesses. His
practice includes turnaround consulting, ABC’s, out of court dispute
resolution, sales and liquidations of businesses ranging from
agriculture-related to manufacturing and retail. Terri Riker is a
commercial real estate portfolio/asset manager who has handled a range
of substandard to high-end rents & profits receivership properties in
Southern California counties, as well as outside the region.
Ask about unique case points,
geographical differences, how to work through sticky deal points, ask
one expert to expand on another expert’s comments, seek “outside the
box” advice from these seasoned receivers who are ready to be put on the
spot.

Loyola VI: Not to
Be Missed
The upcoming Loyola VI conference
on January 23 – 24, 2015, in Orange County is shaping up to be extremely
educational. The content and variety of the panel discussions covers the
waterfront and will provide valuable information to even the most
experienced receiver. Following is a summary of the slated panels, which
are reflected on the California Receivers Forum website at
www.receivers.org.
The panels will undoubtedly be rivaled by the networking opportunities
at the conference.
Comparative Analysis of Receiverships, Bankruptcies and Assignments
for the Benefit of Creditors
Bankruptcy is the most prevalent procedure for dealing with a distressed
business. Insolvency professionals must evaluate and explore
receiverships and assignments for the benefit of creditors as potential
alternatives to a restructuring or the sale of substantially all assets
in a bankruptcy proceeding. This panel will offer their experiences,
perspectives and key factors in determining which procedure should be
pursued, with a practical overview of each procedure.
Receivership in Aid of
Enforcement of Judgments
"What the receiver can do, and what the receiver needs in order to bring
home the bacon." Learn what is needed in the receiver’s order to get the
desired results and what the receiver can do to get the best recovery.
Receiverships of Professional
Organizations. Issues Unique to Liquidating Law Firms and Healthcare
Practices
Law firms and medical practices continue to struggle in today’s
economy. Receivers of law firms and healthcare practices face special
challenges in liquidating these businesses. Learn from the experts on
how to deal with the legal, regulatory, and ethical issues unique to
these businesses.
The Toxic Takeover: Strategies
For The Receiver With A Real Mess On His/Her Hands
Some operating receivers may step into environmentally challenged
businesses by design, while others may find surprises waiting after
their appointment. Either way, the receiver needs to know how to assess
environmental problems, understand the liabilities associated, and
develop a strategy to mitigate problems with minimal downside. This
panel will explore this environmental predicament from a variety of
perspectives and address practical strategies for moving past the mess.
Roundtable Hosted
Discussions
Panelists, moderators, session producers and other receivership
experts will host the luncheon tables to continue the conversations on a
wide variety of topics. You can participate in two table’s topics or
stay at the same table.
Sales Free and Clear for
Business and Realty - Does it Matter What Type of Property?
The debate over a
receiver’s sale of real property free and clear of liens has subsided.
This panel will explore and debate the related, but often overlooked,
issue of a receiver’s ability to sell personal property, or even whole
business, free and clear of liens and answer the question: Does it
matter what type of property the receiver is selling?
Intellectual Property Issues in
Business Receiverships
Intellectual property issues are central to
businesses that run the gamut from high tech startups to entertainment
companies to hospitality franchises. Learn about the key issues and
stumbling blocks that arise when receivers assume control of
IP-dependent enterprises.
A View From Special Asset
Management
Receiverships are not “one size fits all”, especially when it
comes to a lender’s approach to business receiverships of
underperforming loans. Learn how major and middle markets special assets
managers are approaching these receiverships, and how they envision
economic and regulatory pressures will affect their decisions going
forward.
Labor and Employment Issues For
Receivers Administering Operating Businesses
Federal and California
labor and employment laws designed to protect employees when businesses
liquidate can create complex priority and liability issues for
affiliates, insiders, lenders and receivers. This panel will address how
to navigate this labyrinth of state and federal mandates.
Agricultural Receiverships
Lenders,
fiduciaries and their professionals face unique, little known and very
material complex issues when involved in a receivership of an
agricultural concern. If mishandled, these issues often result in
unintended consequences. This panel of experienced professionals
including a receiver, a special assets manager and counsel who represent
all constituencies involved in an ag receivership discuss some of the
most important facets of these unique receiverships.
Financing the Business Receivership
This panel will explore the challenges of financing an operating
business (non-real estate) receivership. The discussion of financing
sources will include receiver's certificates, secured and unsecured
financing, and equity sponsorship. Panelists will also cover best
practices in instances when the receivership assets are insufficient to
cover the costs of administration. Topics will be discussed with
reference not only to relevant legal authority, but also from a
practical, mechanical perspective.
Regulatory Receiverships: How to
Get Along with the Judge, Class Counsel, Defrauded Investors, the
Regulators, and the Press
A complex fraud case requires cooperation,
coordination, and communication among the various players. A regulatory
receiver must engage on the same playing field with the defrauded
victims, the applicable regulatory agency, the lawyers organizing class
actions, the press, and most importantly, the judge supervising the
case. This panel will discuss the dynamic and unique issues that arise
in the context of a complex commercial fraud case.
