WHO GETS HURT WHEN A GROUND LEASE PARTY GOES BANKRUPT?
What are the effects of bankruptcy on Landlords, Tenants, Subtenants, and Lenders in a typical ground lease situation? On November 12, Professor Marshall Tracht will cover the fundamentals, focusing on what can be done to preserve the benefit of each other's bargain if one or more of the Landlord, Tenant or Lender find themselves in bankruptcy. Many of the same principles apply to space leases as well, so even if you're not doing any ground lease work now, don't miss this program. This is a FREE benefit of being a member of the Leasing Group. Professor Tracht is the Director of Graduate Real Estate Programs at New York Law School and teaches Bankruptcy, Real Estate Transactions and Finance, and Advanced Real Estate Financing. Professor Tracht was a member of the Hofstra University School of Law faculty from 1994 to 2008, serving as Vice Dean from 2001 to 2006. He is a member of the editorial board of The Banking Law Journal, a contributing editor to the Real Estate Law Report, and has written extensively in the areas of real estate development and construction financing, workouts, and bankruptcy. His articles have appeared in the Cornell Law Review and Vanderbilt Law Review, among others, and he was a winner of the 1997-98 Grant Gilmore Award for excellence in legal scholarship. Before going into academia, Professor Tracht practiced in the real estate and bankruptcy groups at Arnold & Porter LLP in Washington, D.C. and clerked for the Honorable S. Martin Teel of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia.
