Playing the End Game: Receivers in Post-Judgment Enforcement
Description:
If you haven’t been there yet, you will be soon: You have a situation where a judgment creditor’s best chance to collect on the judgment requires expertise to capture and monetize assets that are not as readily valued and available as a bank account or real property. These might include assets such as stock interests, IP rights, contractual options, etc. The debtor is not cooperating, or maybe the debtor’s principals have run for the hills. The creditor needs someone with expertise to come in, locate, inventory, and appraise such assets, and potentially sell them in a manner that maximizes value for the benefit of all involved. Meet your post-judgment receiver – who in many cases is the best option for these difficult collection cases. After a networking session, our top notch panel will walk you through the key procedural hurdles to appointment of a post-judgment receiver. Then will also identify and discuss circumstances where post-judgment receivers can be far superior to other judgment collection methods. We hope you can make it!
