[CLBS] Commercial Law & Bankruptcy Section Newsletter -- Halloween Edition

[Robert Faucher]

Colleagues,

We're a day late, but this edition of the section newsletter is chock-full of frights.

The newsletter principally addresses issues raised by chapter 7 debtors' attorneys agreeing to represent their clients in consideration of the clients' agreements to make post-petition payments of attorney's fees.  Thanks to Matt Christensen of Angstman Johnson, PLLC and Kelly Greene McConnell of Givens Pursley LLP for volunteering to identify some of the perils attorneys and their clients face in those circumstances.

The newsletter also includes an article by Angstman Johnson's Chad Moody and his colleague Matt Christensen regarding a chapter 7 trustee's strong-arm powers to step into the shoes of the IRS to avoid fraudulent conveyances occurring as long as ten years prior to the petition date.  Judge Pappas recently issued a published opinion on this subject.   If you don't find that prospect spooky, you're either unusually fearless or a ghoulish chapter 7 trustee.

Subject: [CLBS] Utah Ethics Opinion on Advertising, Fee Contracts & Factoring

Thought I'd toss this out on the listserv for everyone's reading pleasure.
It's a relatively recent ethics decision from Utah that touches on bankruptcy practices we've seen out here in Idaho over the past year.
