At the recent annual CLE seminar held by the Oregon State Bar Real Estate and Land Use Section, Tonkon Torp bankruptcy attorneys Ava Schoen and Danny Newman delivered an in-depth presentation on Chapter 11 bankruptcy and how it impacts both tenants and building owners in the realm of real estate.
Newman and Schoen touched on the importance of automatic stays (for landlords and tenants), the scope of a landlord’s claims in Chapter 11, what pre-bankruptcy protections are available for landlords, and when a receivership should be considered.
