DE Bankruptcy Court Addresses Standing In the Context of a Fraudulent Conveyance Action

An annual tradition continues as we present the responses to our Legalweek question. For 2026, it was "where are we with prompting"?

The volume and sophistication of work hitting law firm marketing departments is accelerating. That moves the burden from responding to being ready: ready with differentiated positioning, ready with competitive intelligence, ready to get a compelling pitch to the right client before a formal process even begins. That requires more sophisticated output, produced faster, by teams that are already stretched past capacity.

The annals of copyright decisions could provide a reasonably representative catalog of what our culture has been up to over the past 200 years.
