About Shipman & Goodwin LLP
With more than 160 lawyers practicing from offices in Hartford, Stamford, Greenwich and Lakeville, CT, and Washington DC, Shipman & Goodwin has sophisticated knowledge in a number of industry sectors, including private equity, corporate finance, real estate development, litigation, financial services, education, emerging and middle market companies, franchising, government, health care, not-for-profits, petroleum marketing, retail, software and IT, and utilities. Since our founding in 1919, we have offered a cross-disciplinary approach to problems, and our size and location enable us to present a cost structure that provides our clients with efficient and high-value legal solutions. We are committed to our clients, to understanding their needs and priorities, and to producing practical and effective solutions to their legal problems.

Our long-standing relationships are a matter of great pride, and we strive to achieve an ongoing role of counselor and business partner.
Event Synopsis:
Yearly, billions of dollars of commercial and consumer credit is provided in secured transactions governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). Recent changes to Article 9 affect, among other things, filing requirements, searching, and due diligence. Article 9 contains complex rules regarding the creation, perfection, and enforcement of security interests that make rendering opinions on security interests a legal risk. Counsel must consider all aspects of Article 9 as well as its interplay with other Articles of the UCC, such as Article 8 if the security interest covers certain investment property.
The panel will provide insights into strengthening best practices with respect to drafting and negotiating security agreements, drafting and rendering legal opinions in secured transactions, exercise of remedies, and interplay between Article 9 and other UCC Articles.
Key topics include:
− UCC Article 9 Secured Transactions
− Security Agreements
− Collection and Enforcement
− Repossession and Disposition
− Collateral Acceptance
− Best Practices and Obligations for Secured Parties
− Secured Party Compliance Failure
− Legal Opinions in Secured Transactions
− Interplay Among Article 9 and other UCC Articles
