Evolution of Consumer Bankruptcy Practice in the COVID-19 Era

July 17, 2020

Sponsored by the Consumer Bankruptcy Committee

What trends for consumer bankruptcy practice have emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic? What will consumer practice look like going forward? Join a panel of four experienced bankruptcy counsel as they discuss safety, case law trends and practical actions to take going forward. Some of the topics the panel will discuss include:

  • Actions chapter 13 trustees are taking to hold down costs while continuing to assist debtors.
  • Debtor counsel updates on practices that have developed due to the pandemic, including suspension of plan payments.
  • Creditor counsel initiatives, including notices of forbearance and agreed orders, so debtors may stay in their homes.
  • Variables that have caused consumer filings to drop precipitously due to the pandemic and what filing trends will look like moving forward.
