Wilmington, Delaware- On Friday, December 4, 2020, Bayard attorney Evan T. Miller is scheduled to speak at the American Bankruptcy Institute’s (“ABI”) 2020 Winter Leadership Conference.  Evan is participating in a panel discussion titled Money Talks: Getting Retained and Paid (Ethically) by the Bankruptcy Estate.  The panel is presented by the ABI’s Young and New Members & Ethics and Professional Compensation Committees.  The panelists will offer perspectives from across the country in discussing the myriad ethical considerations governing retention and payment by the bankruptcy estate, including attorney or firm conflicts, retention of professionals specifically as to unsecured creditors committees, and the continuing vitality of nunc pro tunc relief.

Evan concentrates his practice in the areas of corporate bankruptcy and restructuring, representing debtors (both voluntary and involuntary) and trustees, in addition to asset purchasers, landlords, official committees of unsecured creditors, secured creditors, vendors, and preference and fraudulent transfer litigants in bankruptcy courts across the country. His clientele stems from a wide range of industries, including aviation, restaurants, legal hemp, insurance, retail, healthcare, energy, and education, among many others. Evan founded and maintains a blog discussing avoidance action jurisprudence which can be viewed here.  In addition to in-court and out-of-court restructuring matters, Evan has experience handling commercial litigation in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania jurisdictions, as well as Delaware Statutory Trust matters.  Evan has been recognized as a “Rising Star” and under-40 honoree for several years by Super Lawyers and Benchmark Litigation respectively.
