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.

She also shares tips for using the PACER system and provides resources for those interested in learning more about eFiling. Stay tuned to the end for Listener’s Voice, Carl’s recurring segment featuring audio questions or comments from a listener. To send in your own question, email Carl at devoted2law@gmail.com.
