PCM Workshop Preview: Avoiding the Titanic: Navigating Bankruptcy Mediation

“Bankruptcy” is a concept that frightens many mediators, who sense icebergs in the water, because they are unfamiliar with the law. Just as in other legal disciplines, many issues in bankruptcy cases are capable of settlement. Mediation offers parties a channel to reach agreement, bypassing the costs and time delays inherent in litigation. In this workshop,  Hon. Judith K. Fitzgerald, (Ret.) & Beverly Weiss Manne, Esq., co-chair of the Insolvency and Creditors’ Rights Department, both of Tucker Arensberg, P.C (Pittsburgh)will chart a course through several bankruptcy topics that skillful mediators can pilot even without detailed understanding of bankruptcy law and explain some of the processes used by bankruptcy courts that refer matters to mediation.
