About the Webinar

In light of the dramatic rise in the use of technology – in particular, the internet – to facilitate business to business commercial transactions, credit professionals are justifiably concerned about the validity and enforceability of contracts that are generated and signed through electronic means. During this interactive session, Thomas Fawkes and Brian Jackiw of Goldstein & McClintock LLLP will discuss general principles of contract law, how those principles shape federal and state laws governing electronic contracts and signatures, and the opportunities – and potential pitfalls – of shifting contract practice to a digital or cloud-based platform.

About the Speaker

Thomas Fawkes focuses his practice on bankruptcy, creditors’ rights and financial restructuring matters, representing official committees, unsecured and secured creditors, debtors, financial institutions, post-confirmation trustees and asset purchasers in chapter 11 and 7 bankruptcy cases, out-ofcourt restructurings, and liquidation proceedings throughout the United States. Thomas has represented clients on a wide array of matters, including plan confirmations, preference, fraudulent transfer and other bankruptcy litigation, cash collateral and debtor-in-possession financing, Section 363 sale transactions, real estate and equipment leasing disputes and claims reconciliation. Thomas also assists his clients in structuring commercial transactions with a view towards mitigating risk of future bankruptcy and insolvency losses.

Brian Jackiw is experienced in bankruptcy and commercial litigation, having represented plaintiffs and defendants in avoidance actions, complex bankruptcy claim disputes, breach of fiduciary duty actions and bankruptcy fraud litigation. Brian has prosecuted millions of dollars of preference litigation claims on behalf of liquidating trustees and chapter 7 trustees, and has defended hundreds of preference and fraudulent transfer claims, on behalf of individual defendants, in jurisdictions throughout the United States. Beyond litigation in the Bankruptcy courts, Brian has experience in general collection and commercial law litigation. Brian has also spent significant time advocating on behalf of general unsecured creditors through his representation of official committees of unsecured creditors. This representation has allowed Brian to engage in significant and complex issues such as assets sales, liquidation under chapter 11, disputes regarding a secured creditor’s perfection of a security interest, and other matters.
