47 - Conversation with Roberta DeAngelis

ABI Deputy Executive Director Felicia S. Turner talks with Roberta DeAngelis, Acting General Counsel for the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees, about some challenging chapter 11 issues that are recurring in cases of all sizes. With BAPCPA having shepherded in changes affecting debtors in possession and the U.S. Trustee's oversight of chapter 11 cases, DeAngelis talks about the U.S. Trustees' positions on such issues as key employee retention plans and ß1104(e). She also discusses the Program's positions on other items of interest to chapter 11 practitioners and professionals, such as a debtor in possession's retention of a chief restructuring officer and the new bankruptcy rule regarding procuring certain relief during the first 20 days of a case.
