McKool Smith's Hugh Ray III Featured as Panelist During National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges
LAS VEGAS – Noted bankruptcy attorney Hugh Ray III, a principal in the Houston office of McKool Smith, recently served among a select group of attorneys and academicians as a featured panelist during the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges in Las Vegas.This marks the 83rd year for the annual conference where the country’s leading bankruptcy attorneys and scholars gather with esteemed bankruptcy judges from across the United States to discuss important developments in bankruptcy law and policy.
During his presentation, Mr. Ray III examined the recent legal and ethical issues covering the solicitation of counsel for official creditor committees in bankruptcy proceedings, including how counsel can ethically contact clients, the statutes and rules that apply, and mechanisms for regulation and enforcement.
In the program titled “Committee Solicitation Issues – The Problems, the Rules and the Enforcers,” Mr. Ray III and other panelists from the American Bar Association Working Group on Committee Solicitation called for ethics reform among bankruptcy practitioners. The panel noted that the lack of effective regulation hurts clients and the public. Mr. Ray also authored a paper for the conference that focused on the judicial power to penalize unethical behavior.
“It is an honor to be asked to speak at the Judges' Conference, especially being included among such a distinguished panel of bankruptcy practitioners,” says Mr. Ray III. “The National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges stands alone as the most prestigious conference for the Chapter 11 practitioner, and represents one of the most effective forums for helping bankruptcy attorneys stay at the top of their game.”
