    Gary Eisenberg writes: Retail bankruptcies continue apace in 2017. Their effects on commercial real estate are potentially widespread. What has been less well understood is how changes to the Bankruptcy Code from over a decade ago and trends in bankruptcy practice have combined to limit considerably the likelihood that any retailer filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief can emerge successfully as a reorganized company.

    Directors, Officers, Creditors Beware: D&O Coverage Narrowed in Bankruptcy Cases

    By David M. Banker, Wojciech F. Jung and Eric Jesse | September 27, 2017

Some courts have expanded the exclusion's scope to reach claims brought by or on behalf of the bankruptcy estate against insured directors and officers. Nevertheless, there are certain steps that bankruptcy and insurance practitioners can take to avoid or minimize the pitfalls of the insured vs. insured exclusion.

    Is Time Really of the Essence? Not in Bankruptcy.

    By Eloy A. Peral | September 25, 2017

    The pressures inherent in "time is of the essence" closings can breed ill-informed, and at times, regrettable decisions aimed at avoiding the potentially catastrophic result of failing to timely close. Bankruptcy can provide a "breathing spell" for financially distressed single-asset entities whose entire value is dependent on whether it can meet a "time is of the essence" deadline.
