OBA Insolvency Law & CONSTRUCTION LAW PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

As the country emerges from COVID restrictions, what impact will the end of subsidies, increasing interest rates and the move of workers out of the cities have on the large number of condominium developments? Join us as we hear from a panel of insolvency and construction law experts as they unravel the important intersections of insolvency, construction and development issues from the perspective of trades, including:

• Where is the law on the recognition of construction trusts in insolvencies?
• How are lien rights managed or recognized in an insolvency?
• Are trades’ claims protected by surety bonds in an insolvency?

Through a hypothetical fact pattern that will ring true for many practitioners, our experts will share valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities presented by receiverships, restructurings, priority disputes, trade debts, surety bonds and many other flash points in contractor and developer insolvencies. Following the panel, seasoned experts Brendan Bowles and Brendan Bissell will square off in the “Battle of the Brendans” - a spirited debate on policy and practice at the intersection of insolvency and construction law that will engage with questions about how things are, and how they ought to be.

Register now for this engaging program to ensure you are up to speed on the latest developments and well equipped to best advise your clients.
