- Nov. 16 abiLIVE Webinar: “Pending Changes in the Bankruptcy Forms”
The new bankruptcy forms are part of a forms modernization project that was begun by the Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules in 2008. Among other things, the new forms introduce different versions of case opening forms for individual debtors and non-individual debtors. The new forms are easier for debtors to understand and complete and are designed to work with scheduled enhancements to the federal courts’ case opening and electronic case management system. Join members of the Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules, as well as a software expert from Stratus BK, to learn about the new forms. The webinar is scheduled from 1:00-2:15 p.m. ET.

- Nov. 19 abiLIVE Webinar: “Tax Credit Projects in Distress”
It has become increasingly popular for businesses, developers and project sponsors to take advantage of specialized tax credit programs at the federal and state levels designed to incentivize investment in affordable housing, low-income communities and historic preservation. This webinar will provide bankruptcy and workout professionals with a basic understanding of these tax credit programs, and the unique issues that can arise in workouts and bankruptcies involving projects financed through the use of tax credits. The webinar is scheduled from noon-1:30 p.m. ET. Click here to view the speakers and to register.
