Insurance and Surety Bonds (Jan 2024)
What can creditors and insurers do when a debtor cannot or will not meet its obligations? Examples include a debtor who rejects its surety bond, but the surety has duties to third parties; a debtor who must advance defense costs as part of its self-insured retention obligation, but has no funds to do that; a debtor who offers a pre-petition unsecured claim instead of funding its self-insured retained liability with cash; or a consumer debtor who fails to pay premiums on an auto policy after filing bankruptcy.

Intersection of Mass Torts and Bankruptcy (Jan 2024)
Since Johns-Manville and the addition of Section 524(g) to the Bankruptcy Code, mass torts and bankruptcy have been intersecting with increasing regularity. In recent years, chapter 11 has been invoked to resolve mass tort liabilities stemming from not only asbestos, but also opioids, sex abuse, and defective products. But whether bankruptcy and mass torts should permanently merge, stay on parallel paths, or continue to collide remains to be seen. Discuss the latest developments affecting corporate board rooms and hundreds of thousands of individuals across the country, and share perspectives from the bench and the bar on where this quickly evolving area of law may be heading.
