Where Chancery Meets Chapter 11: The Corporate-Bankruptcy Nexus in Delaware

Hotel Du Pont

Wilmington, DE 19801

Troutman Pepper Locke partner Evelyn Meltzer will participate on the panel “Where Chancery Meets Chapter 11: The Corporate-Bankruptcy Nexus in Delaware,” as part of the 2026 ABI Delaware Views from the Bench. The program will take place on Thursday, November 12, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. ET.

About the Program:

Delaware is the premier venue for both complex corporate litigation and major Chapter 11 reorganizations. This session explores the critical, high-stakes intersection between the Delaware Court of Chancery and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, enhanced by the General Assembly’s recent passage of the Uniform Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (ABC) Act. Leading practitioners will analyze how fiduciary duty claims, internal corporate governance disputes, and state-level wind-down strategies under the modernized ABC framework shift or evolve when a company enters formal restructuring. Attendees will gain actionable insights into jurisdictional boundaries, the impact of the automatic stay on pending Chancery matters, and strategic coordination across these state and federal forums.
