Deborah Williamson and Danielle Rushing Behrend will each serve as featured presenters at the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges' (NCBJ) 97th Annual Conference taking place Oct. 11-14 in Austin, Texas.

Williamson's session, "Liability Management or Opportunity Run Amok: Debt Restructuring Transactions 2.0," will analyze the growth in liability management exercises and will feature a moderated discussion of recent trends and hot topics (such as "lender-on-lender violence") with respect to these transactions.

Behrends will participate in the American Bar Association Luncheon Program, "Unreasonable Restraints: Considering Contractual Restrictions on Bankruptcy Relief," which will cover recent cases addressing the enforceability of provisions in corporate governance documents and finance agreements restricting a debtor’s ability to file for bankruptcy or propose a plan of reorganization.
