In todays economic turmoil, commercial landlords face unprecedented economic and legal risks.

When your tenants file for bankruptcy, landlords will face highly accelerated proceedings that offer precious little time to hire new counsel, review pleadings and make informed decisions. The rush to liquidate retail stores is now prevalent. Several recent retail chain filings, which will serve as revealing case studies for much of this audio conference, are evidence of the brutal new world facing landlords.

Prepare yourself with this timely and convenient Audio CD (recorded February 2009), presented by David R. Kuney, partner with the national law firm of Sidley Austin LLP.
