American Bankruptcy Institute: 2017 New York City Bankruptcy Conference

Bill Weintraub, partner in Goodwin's Financial Industry Practice and co-chair of its Financial Restructuring Practice, will be a speaker at the American Bankruptcy Institute's 2017 New York City Bankruptcy Conference. Bill will be speaking on the "Equitable Mootness" panel which will focus on the current state of the doctrine and recent criticisms, especially from the Third Circuit (Philadelphia Newspapers, SemCrude, One2One Communications), and its applications (City of Detroit (invoking the doctrine to reject the attempted restoration of pension benefits in the city’s bankruptcy)). Goodwin is a sponsor.
