Course 140: Preparing for Bankruptcies and Customer Insolvencies
Developed and Delivered by the Bankruptcy & Restructuring practice group of Cooley, LLP. 
This course offers students a comprehensive overview of how to prepare for, and best position your company when customers become financially insolvent or enter into bankruptcy.
Taught by three principals – Larry Gottlieb, Jay Indyke and Cathy Hershcopf - from the nationally recognized law firm of Cooley LLP, students will participate in seven learning sessions totaling five hours of intensive online classroom training. Each session is followed by an assessment test to measure how well information is being retained. These assessments tests are not counted toward the final grade; but rather designed to help students focus additional time on sections of the course that may require further review of the material in preparation for the Final Exam.
The Final Exam consists of selected questions from the seven Assessment Tests and will be graded. Students receiving a score of 70% or higher will be awarded a framed CRF “Certificate of Professional Development” to acknowledge their accomplishment. A Glossary of Terms is also provided to help explain the terms used in this course and to save for future reference.
Preparing for Bankruptcies and Customer Insolvencies is an on-demand course, allowing students to work independently and at their own pace to accommodate the time demands of busy professionals. Students may take as little or as much time as they need to complete the course. Prior to taking the Final Exam, students may revisit any or all of the seven video learning sessions.
The seven online learning sessions cover nearly 5 hours on the following topics:
Protecting and Elevating Claims – The Claims Waterfall, Critical Vendors, Goods in Transit, Credit Insurance, Letters of Credit, PACA/PASA/PPFPA Claims, Consignments and Purchase Money Security Interests.
Material Case Events – Creditors' Committees, Notices and Case Monitoring, Capital Structure Issues, Financing, Cash Collateral and the Budget, Automatic Stay, “363” Sales, Affirmative Litigation Strategies and Preferences.
