Use of Independent Directors and Board Committees in Chapter 11 Cases (from Annual Mid-Atlantic Institute on Bankruptcy 2022) (On Demand Seminar)

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the September 2022 live seminar, 37th Annual Mid-Atlantic Bankruptcy and Reorganization Practice.

This panel addresses the increasing use and proper roles of independent directors on the board of a chapter 11 debtor, and independent committees of the board, in preparation for and during the bankruptcy case. The panel also explores the tactic of appointing independent directors to investigate the viability of claims owned by the debtor, recommend settlement of claims and proposed releases, and to otherwise reconcile inter-company matters for which certain board members may be conflicted.
