546(e) and 547(c)(6) Safe Harbors: Expand or Limit?

September 12, 2016

Hosted by the legislation committee

The “safe harbor” under section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code protects from avoidance certain securities, commodities and financial transactions.  Similarly, section 547(c)(6) protects the fixing of true statutory liens from preferential transfer avoidance.  This year, the scope and application of the section 546(e) safe harbor has been reshaped by several courts, including the Second and Seventh Circuits. Panelists will discuss recent case law affecting the effectiveness of section 546(e), helping shareholders and other parties in interest participating in an LBO to examine the issues and different results produced by the courts.  Panelists will also discuss how recent oil & gas bankruptcies have reignited an expansion of the section 547(c)(6) safe harbor.
