SUMMARY:Lunch Session: Life Settlements & Bankruptcy: Unlocking Hidden Value in Life Insurance
DESCRIPTION:In today’s environment of rising interest rates\, ongoing premium burdens\, and evolving tax considerations following recent legislative developments\, life insurance policies are increasingly overlooked assets in bankruptcy matters. Too often\, policies are surrendered or allowed to lapse without a full evaluation of their potential value in the life settlement market.\nThis program is designed to provide an overview of the life settlement market\, specifically for consumer bankruptcy attorneys\, and focuses on how life settlements can serve as a strategic tool in maximizing value for consumer bankruptcy debtors. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of when and how to evaluate life insurance policies within the bankruptcy process\, including key legal and fiduciary considerations\, valuation dynamics\, and relevant tax implications.\nThe session will also highlight the importance of regular policy reviews as a best practice\, helping attorneys identify overlooked assets\, mitigate risk\, and improve outcomes in bankruptcy proceedings while better serving their clients.\n\n

SUMMARY:Pre-Packaged Private Student Loan Adversaries: A Systematized\, High-ROI Litigation Model for Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys
DESCRIPTION:Bankruptcy attorneys avoid private student loan adversaries not because they’re unwinnable\, but because the work feels unpredictable and lacks the standardized frameworks that exist for federal student loan litigation.&nbsp\;\nThis session shows how to turn private student loan discharge cases into efficient\, repeatable\, and profitable matters by pre-packaging the case before the complaint is ever filed.&nbsp\;\nAttendees will learn how to structure intake\, documentation\, fact-presentation\, and settlement posture in a way that addresses Brunner objections up front\, makes opposing counsel’s job easier\, and creates a clear runway to resolution.&nbsp\;\nThe session also briefly explores how to spot PSL adversary opportunities in prior client files\, including reopening cases under Rule 4007(b) when appropriate.\nAttorneys will leave with a workflow they can implement immediately\, including a realistic time-commitment model and pricing considerations.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Balance Sheet: Valuing Intangible Assets in Consumer Bankruptcy
DESCRIPTION:As technology\, digital income streams\, and nontraditional property interests expand\, consumer bankruptcy attorneys are increasingly confronted with assets that can’t be easily appraised\, touched\, or sold — yet may have real value to the estate.\nThis session\, presented in collaboration with NCLC\, explores the growing challenge of identifying and valuing intangible assets in bankruptcy practice. From small business goodwill to digital accounts\, intellectual property\, NFTs\, and online income\, panelists will discuss how to determine what’s property of the estate\, when expert valuation is warranted\, and how to navigate disputes over worth and exemption.\nKey topics include:\nRecognizing intangible assets during intake and disclosure.Practical approaches to valuation — when to engage an expert and what metrics to use.How trustees\, creditors\, and debtors view “soft assets” differently.Case law and trends shaping valuation disputes in consumer cases.Ethical considerations when assets have speculative or fluctuating value.Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to spot\, value\, and defend intangible assets in today’s evolving consumer landscape.

SUMMARY:The Good\, the Bad & the Ugly: A Roundtable Discussion on What Works and What Doesn't
DESCRIPTION:In the fast-paced world of consumer bankruptcy\, paralegals are often the frontline problem-solvers who keep cases moving\, clients supported\, and attorneys informed. This interactive roundtable brings together experienced consumer-bankruptcy paralegals to openly discuss the practices\, workflows\, and tools that truly make a difference—along with the recurring challenges that complicate even the most straightforward cases.\nParticipants will compare “the good” (successful systems\, communication strategies\, intake processes\, and document-management methods)\, “the bad” (common bottlenecks in Chapter 7 and 13 practice\, missteps that derail timelines\, and client issues that require careful handling)\, and “the ugly” (red-flag situations\, ethical pitfalls\, and avoidable errors that can create unnecessary risk for your firm).\nWhether you are looking to sharpen your skills\, streamline your office procedures\, or simply learn how other firms navigate the same hurdles you face every day\, this session offers practical\, candid insights you can implement immediately. Come prepared to share your experiences\, learn from your peers\, and walk away with strategies that support a more efficient\, effective\, and resilient bankruptcy practice.\n\n\n\n
