About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will guide new bankruptcy lawyers through the must know issues related to debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing and the use of cash collateral in Chapter 11 cases.

Description

In any case where the debtor has secured debt, the debtor needs approval from the secured lender(s) or court authority to use the lender's cash collateral, i.e., cash that secures the lender's loan. In many cases the debtor also needs to borrow new money, a DIP loan, either from a new lender or through additional advances from an existing lender.

The use of cash collateral and the obtaining of DIP loans go hand in hand. Cash collateral orders and DIP loans have many embedded legal issues that affect all creditors and the debtor throughout the case. In recent years, lenders have also used cash collateral and DIP loans to take control of the case by setting deadlines for various events, such as marketing and selling the debtor's business or confirming a plan of reorganization.

Listen as this premier panel clarifies these complex and ubiquitous issues around cash collateral and DIP lending, helps less-experienced lawyers recognize them, and suggests ways to respond.
