The 2011 Isaac Pitblado Lectures

Your client may be experiencing financial difficulties or dealing with someone who is. How do you advise your client, and is there a way to salvage a seemingly hopeless situation? At this year's Pitblado Lectures leading practitioners and academics in bankruptcy and insolvency law will be addressing the latest developments in the area, and providing practical ways to deal with the many issues faced by creditors and debtors in these situations. They will help you navigate through the many minefields and examine issues of practical importance to Manitoba lawyers and insolvency professionals, with particular attention to small business and Ag business. The focus will be on "made in Manitoba" problems and solutions.
