Speaker: S. Jordan Smith, Partner at Jackson Walker L.L.P.

The presentation will provide an overview of significant issues and recent developments in the law related to the acquisition and sale of assets in bankruptcy and certain issues unique to upstream oil and gas bankruptcies.  We will discuss a debtor’s ability to reject executory contracts under the Bankruptcy Code, particularly with respect to midstream contracts and whether a dedication of acreage to a midstream counterparty results in a covenant running with the land that might defeat attempted rejection of that contract by the debtor.  Finally, there will be a brief discussion of the law in Texas related to the perfection and enforcement of mineral mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens prior to and during the pendency of a bankruptcy.
