Event Synopsis:
Typically regarded as a collection resource for judgment creditors chasing “judgment proof” debtors, fraudulent conveyance laws are being invoked with vastly greater frequency and broader reach. Entities and individuals experiencing financial distress, as well as those who deal with such entities and individuals, regularly (and often unknowingly) walk a fine line that expose them to protracted and expensive litigation and potentially substantial adverse judgments.
In a two-hour live webcast, a panel of distinguished experts will discuss the following:
- A concise overview of applicable federal and Uniform state laws that govern fraudulent conveyance
- An overview of the elements of claims based upon alternative theories of actual and constructive fraud
- Emphasis on the principle elements involved: the “badges of fraud,” insolvency at the time of transfer, and the “reasonable equivalence” of value
- A discussion of recent developments in the law
- Practical litigation experiences, strategies and tips for asserting and defending against fraudulent conveyance claims
- Case studies and real-life application of fraudulent conveyance laws and recognizing and avoiding exposure in cases premised upon constructive fraud
