Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t: Current Issues for Professionals Seeking Compensation in Bankruptcy Cases Under 11 U.S.C. § 330
87 American Bankruptcy Law Journal 525
As to whether to defend their fee application under 11 U.S.C. § 330, professionals may well be damned if they do and damned if they don't. This article analyzes this statutory conundrum, surveying recent developments and issues for professionals seeking compensation under § 330 of the Bankruptcy Code. Topics discussed include (1) the historical development of the various methods courts use to define "reasonable, actual, and necessary" compensation; (2) awards for the costs incurred while…
As to whether to defend their fee application under 11 U.S.C. § 330, professionals may well be damned if they do and damned if they don't. This article analyzes this statutory conundrum, surveying recent developments and issues for professionals seeking compensation under § 330 of the Bankruptcy Code. Topics discussed include (1) the historical development of the various methods courts use to define "reasonable, actual, and necessary" compensation; (2) awards for the costs incurred while defending a fee application; (3) fee enhancements, including the Fifth Circuits decisions in CRG Partners Grp., L.L.C. v. Neary (In re Pilgrim’s Pride Corp.) and ASARCO L.L.C. v. Jordan Hyden Womble Culbreth & Holzer, P.C. (In re ASARCO L.L.C.); and (4) post-judgment interest accruing during the defense of a fee award. The author argues that the Fifth Circuit has been correct to uphold decades of precedent allowing fee enhancements after the Supreme Court decision in Perdue v. Kenny A. ex rel. Winn, 559 U.S. 542 (2010), and that fees incurred in the defense of fee applications should be recoverable. The article is available for free through SSRN (linked above) or by searching 87 Am. Bankr. L.J. 525 in Westlaw or Lexis.

Paved with Good Intentions: Creditors Face a New Roadblock to Recovery in Mexican Bankruptcies
18 Law & Business Review of Americas 83

Two and a Half Hurdles Between Eurozone Debts and U.S. Courts: How Recent Distressed Foreign Deals Could Soon Be Unwound Domestically
38 Brooklyn Journal of International Law 1100
The recent financial unrest in Europe has created significant distressed opportunities. Buyers with free capital have been able to obtain significant quantities of distressed assets at free-fall pricing. In a typical arms-length transaction, these buyers would leave without further concern for the viability of their counter-parties. But these parties may soon find themselves reacquainted with their sweetheart deals if their counter-parties fail to weather liquidity crises and seek bankruptcy…
The recent financial unrest in Europe has created significant distressed opportunities. Buyers with free capital have been able to obtain significant quantities of distressed assets at free-fall pricing. In a typical arms-length transaction, these buyers would leave without further concern for the viability of their counter-parties. But these parties may soon find themselves reacquainted with their sweetheart deals if their counter-parties fail to weather liquidity crises and seek bankruptcy protection. As austerity skirmishes give way to greater financial solidarity, the Eurozone will be both further protected, and yet paradoxically more exposed, to both acute and systemic liquidity risks. This article discusses recent examples from the Eurozone and South America to describe the two and a half hurdles opportunities litigants must overcome to capitalize on favorable U.S. fraudulent transfer laws and unwind distressed foreign deals. The article is available for free through SSRN (linked above) or by searching 38 Brook. J. Int'l L. 1100 in Westlaw or Lexis.
