Loyola VIII: Connect to a Changing Economic Future

By Sleeper, Jeanne*

What does the future hold for the economy? The California Receivers Forum, in conjunction with Loyola Law School of Los Angeles, will co-host the Loyola VIII Symposium at the Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel on January 23-24, 2020. The conference theme, “Connect to a Changing Economic Future” highlights industries likely to be served by receivers, legal routes that may better suit your clients’ needs, and the advice of pros who have delivered results in challenging economic times.

The Symposium features some new voices and fresh perspectives. Reconnect with statewide experts and network with the industry professionals that
support your cases.

Leading indicators point to a possible recession on the horizon – is your business prepared?

Dr. Christopher Thornberg, founder of Beacon Economics, is the Keynote Speaker following the Welcome Dinner at The Pacific Club on Thursday, January 23. Dr. Thornberg is an expert in economic and revenue forecasting, regional economics, economic policy, and labor and real estate markets. He became nationally known for forecasting the subprime mortgage market crash that began in 2007, and was one of the few economists on record to predict the global economic recession that followed.

The Friday, January 24 Keynote Speaker focuses on federal equity receiverships, and how they can be more advantageous than bankruptcy, or state court
actions, in a variety of businesses and economic climates. We are honored to have Houston attorney Zack Clement, who has led numerous financial restructuring transactions and insolvency litigation matters during his 40 years of law practice at Sidley, Weil and Fulbright in Houston.

Other programs include “Ask the Receiver”, an expert-led panel addressing the most interesting questions submitted by Symposium participants. Additional sessions include cannabis, post-judgment receiverships, federal law and Rule 66, and health and safety. The Symposium also features more
than ten luncheon table discussions on contemporary topics for newer or veteran receivers and their counsel. The CRF LA-OC Chapter Young Professionals Council (YPC) wraps up the Symposium with a Micro Brew and Shrub Tasting Thursday at 5pm.

The Loyola Symposium is only held every two to three years. Don’t miss the insights and connections to position your business for the coming engagement opportunities. Be sure to reserve the dates of January 23-24, 2020 on your calendar, and join us at the Loyola VIII Symposium!
