Eric Levine Gives Case Law Update at NW Bankruptcy Institute

Tonkon Torp attorney Eric Levine was a panelist at the 39th Annual NW Bankruptcy Institute co-hosted by the Washington State Bar Association Creditor Debtor Rights Section and Oregon State Bar Debtor-Creditor Section in Bellevue, Washington. The two-day continuing legal education seminar is regarded as the preeminent bankruptcy conference in the Pacific Northwest.

Levine and his co-panelists – the Hon. Whitman Holt, Chief Judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Eastern Washington, and Lesley Bohleber, attorney at Seattle law firm Bush Kornfeld – offered an update on recent Ninth Circuit case law relating to debtor-creditor matters.

Levine is a regular speaker and author on matters relating to the Ninth Circuit. As an associate in Tonkon Torp’s Bankruptcy & Restructuring Group, Levine’s practice is focused on representing bankruptcy debtors and receivers, handling appeals, and resolving complex civil litigation. He has worked on cases presenting issues of first impression under the Oregon Receivership Code, principally authored briefs filed in state and federal appellate courts, and contributed to amicus briefs filed with the Supreme Court of the United States.
