Jager Smith Introduces New United States Trustee

On April 6, 2011, Bruce F. Smith participated in a panel discussion with the newly appointed United States Trustee for Region 1, William Harrington. The event, which was sponsored by the Northeast Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association, was moderated by Sheila Smith of Deloitte Financial Advisory Services. Also participating as panelists were John Fitzgerald, Deputy United States Trustee for Region 1, and William Baldiga of Brown Rudnick. The very lively discussion included topics such as the recent decision of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in the Chapter 11 case of Universal Building Products, and issues relating to the formation and representation of unsecured creditors' committees in bankruptcy cases.
