Speaker: Mr. David J. Cook

 

Making a silk purse from a sow’s ear. Ouch!

Discussion will include ~

• Trading the claim for certainty, or is that so?  Maximizing the recovery or leaving money on the table?  Financial statements or an URLA?
• Is the pen mightier than the sword?  Or the Settlement Agreement not worth the paper?  Did you lose the keys to the courthouse by dismissal? 
• The secret sauce of collateral and guarantees, lest the settlement, if unsecured, expires.
• Mutual releases set free the scavengers, insiders, and thieves who loot the company.
• The 12 ingredients of any settlement.  Checklists are your buddies.
• Expect a default.  Expect bankruptcy.  Expect a sale.  Expect another lawsuit.  Expect a disaster.
• Confidentiality?  Why?  Why not?  Keeping secrets is in whose best interests?
• Salvage Settlements, High Interest Settlements, Two for the price of one and other stories.
• CCP Section 664.6. Sign on the dotted line. Speak up in court or everything ends on the floor.
• Necessity of Acceleration and notice of default.  Details are king.
