Taft Minneapolis partner John McDonald spoke at the Commercial Receivers Association (CRA) Annual Conference in St. Louis on the topic of Dealing With Intransigent Parties in Receiverships. Receivership is and continues to be a viable option for creditors to reclaim their interests in financially distressed companies. The CRA is spearheading an effort to adopt uniform receivership laws and allow for a consistent source of information about the movement in that space throughout the country. Its mission is to help improve the use of commercial receiverships nationally and in each state in which it operates.
