Is There Standing to Prosecute Fraudulent Transfer Claims if Unsecured Creditors Have Been Fully Paid? Image

Is There Standing to Prosecute Fraudulent Transfer Claims if Unsecured Creditors Have Been Fully Paid?

Paul A. Rubin & Leslie W. Chervokas

The answer depends, in part, on where the debtor's case is pending. In the Second Circuit, courts allow defendants to escape exposure to fraudulent transfer actions if the debtor's estate cannot identify at least one general unsecured creditor who would benefit from a recovery in that litigation. Not so in other courts.

Coping with Evolving Cybersecurity Rules

Jonathan S. Feld, Susan E. Asam & Leyton Nelson

Cybersecurity and data protection, more than ever, are priority items for the government and private sector. The government has reacted by proposing legislative "fixes" that would require organizations to satisfy basic levels of cybersecurity protection and disclose breaches or face fines.

It may be unrealistic to expect the government's legislative pace to keep up with hackers.

  • Divorce Lawyers' Obligation to Children
    Do divorce lawyers have an obligation to disclose client confidences when it is in the best interests of the client's child to do so? The short answer of the rules of professional responsibility is 'no' because a 'yes' answer is deemed to be fundamentally inconsistent with the premises of the adversary system in which the divorce lawyer functions.
