Defense against recovery of preferential payments
Under the United States Bankruptcy Code, any payments made by the debtor within the preference period are subject to recovery. The preference period is comprised of the 90 days prior to the debtor filing for bankruptcy. A trustee attempts to recover the payments through clawback litigation or otherwise, he or she then proceeds with distributing the assets to the unsecured creditors.
Preference litigation is often associated with clawback litigation. However, preference litigation is actually a subset of the clawback issues. At Lax & Neville LLP, our lawyers have earned a reputation for providing a strong preference litigation defense.
