UCC Article 9 Roundtable - Los Angeles

Recently, CT Lien Solutions brought together secured lending attorneys and executives from leading law firms, financial institutions and corporations at our UCC Article 9 Roundtable in Los Angeles. Panelists Steve Weise and Teresa Wilton Harmon, of Proskauer and Sidley Austin, respectively, along with our own Tim Hall and Bill Moore, led a lively dialogue on new case law and pending legislation that are shaping best practices of searching and filing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

This lively dialogue covered:

• Pending new amendments to the UCC Article 9
• Changes in the individual debtor name rules--including the treatment of search logic now, and after the amendments--and why to start using the rules now
• Post filing changes in the debtor: what can go wrong; timing of when to file and why
• Updated case law
• and more!

UCC Legal Forum Chicago

Recently CT hosted its inaugural UCC Legal Forum for attorneys in Chicago. We brought together attorneys from leading law firms to discuss UCC industry challenges and opportunities, including individual debtor names, trusts and mortgage assignments. The panel discussion was facilitated by some of the brightest in the industry: Teresa Wilton Harmon of Sidley Austin; Richard Newman of Mayer Brown; Darrell Pierce of Dykema Gossett; and CT's own Tim Hall, with Dan Lias as moderator.

For those who missed it, don't worry; we'll be hosting regular editions of this compelling CLE series both regionally and nationwide. To be included in future invitations, just send us an email. To listen to an audiorecording of our Chicago session, click: Part 1 of 2 - Part 2 of 2.

 

Inaugural UCC Legal Forum discusses UCC challenges

Senior paralegals gathered today to discuss UCC challenges, at our inaugural UCC Legal Forum. We at CT Lien Solutions were excited to be part of such an engaging discussion.

We facilitated this gathering as an ongoing platform for senior-level legal professionals to discuss UCC and related industry issues; exchange ideas; and network among peers and industry leaders. We envision this being just the first of many gatherings, particularly as we face--thoughout the next several years--pending changes to the RA9 and UCC forms.

While today's forum was dedicated to paralegals, we are in the process of forming a similar group for attorneys, which we hope to kick off next month. As these dialogues take place we're certain they will harvest a number of interesting thoughts and ideas that we hope to share with you. Check back for details from our discussions.
