RECESSION – We experienced it in 2001 and are facing the possibility of it again in 2008. There have been changes since the last recession and the revamping of the bankruptcy code in 2005 that could impact your business.We invite you to join Patton Boggs Dallas attorneys Robert Jones and Max Tucker for an interactive discussion of bankruptcy related topics including:

• What’s new on "creditor control" of the borrower, both in and out of bankruptcy?
• When should the creditor exercise budget controls or stock voting rights?
• Which expenditures are and are not mandated by the 2005 bankruptcy law reforms?
• What is the impact of the recent Single Asset Real Estate (SARE) bankruptcy amendments?
