Alexandria, Va. — ABI’s newest publication, Understanding Ordinary: A Primer on Financial and Economic Considerations for the Ordinary Course Defenses to Bankruptcy Preference Actions, provides an overview of bankruptcy preference basics, as well as a detailed discussion of the ordinary course of business defense. Authors Neil Steinkamp and Jake Reed of Stout Risius Ross, Inc. (New York) equip readers with the know-how to ask detailed questions regarding preference analyses, request information that will help analyze potential preferences and understand common issues in analyzing payment data —by both the parties involved and industry research sources. Nearly every chapter of Understanding Ordinary, co-published with the Credit Research Foundation, includes a legal note written by an expert in the field, and the book is replete with charts that help illustrate many of the book’s concepts.
