COHEN, JUDISCAK DELIVER LEGAL SEMINAR TO NATIONAL LENDER

Attorneys Scott B. Cohen and Kevin M. Judiscak of Engelman Berger presented an educational seminar on September 19, 2024, to the Bankruptcy and Business Reorganization Group of the legal department of one of the largest financial services institutions in the United States, with assets of over $500 billion.

The duo’s presentation focused on the use of mediation in bankruptcy – how the process works, issues that are best addressed in the context of this type of dispute resolution, and benefits in terms of timing and cost-efficiency. Cohen and Judiscak also discussed pitfalls, such as when conflicts of interest arise, elements are strongly contested, or confidentiality is breached.

Cohen represents banks, lenders, landlords, guarantors, committees, and other creditors in bankruptcy, creditors’ rights matters, loan workouts, business turnarounds, Chapter 11 reorganizations, receiverships, bankruptcy litigation and commercial litigation. He is a Certified Specialist in Business Bankruptcy Law (American Board of Certification) and also serves as an expert witness in bankruptcy and anti-deficiency matters.

Judiscak litigates varied types of commercial disputes, representing clients in state and federal courts, bankruptcy court, commercial arbitration proceedings and mediations. He represents clients at the trial court level, and in the appellate courts, including special actions.
