About the Webinar

This webinar, conducted by bankruptcy and insolvency specialists from both Canada and the United States, will provide an overview of Canada's bankruptcy laws that have the most impact on U.S. trade creditors selling goods and/or providing services to Canadian companies and a comparison with U.S. bankruptcy law. There will be a discussion of creditors' rights under Canada's CCAA, BIA and other proceedings compared to creditors' rights under comparable U.S. Bankruptcy Code provisions. There will also be a discussion of recent Canadian retail filings.
