ABI's 5th Annual Mid-Atlantic Bankruptcy Workshop

The 5th Annual Mid-Atlantic Bankruptcy Workshop will be held August 6-8 at the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, Pa.  This year’s program will offer seven hours of CLE credit, networking opportunities and the region’s best speakers who will cover all of the topics you need to know in this economic climate.  In addition to the theme park, guests can take advantage of championship golf, a luxurious spa and all the amenities expected of a truly grand hotel.  One of the sessions will be of great interest to the committee.

Panelists in the session “The Forgotten Faces: Employment Issues in Bankruptcy” will discuss the WARN Act, management incentive plans under §503(c) and the rejection of collective bargaining agreements under §1113 and §1114.  Hon.
