Help Wanted

By Michael Caruso 

Federal courts regularly appoint receivers upon request by the Securities Exchange Commission, Federal Trade Commission, United States Department of Justice, and other interested parties to assist in resolving complex problems. The receiver’s role may involve marshaling, maintaining, managing, and safeguarding the assets of the receivership estate. The goal is often a subsequent distribution of these assets under the court’s supervision.

 

There has been a particular lack of diversity in federal equity receiverships across the country. Adding to the problem is the fact that receiverships do not happen as frequently as other cases, meaning there are fewer opportunities to be appointed and gain experience.

As a small step to address this issue, our local federal Diversity and Inclusion Practitioner’s Committee is hosting a panel discussion “Demystifying Receiverships in the Southern District of Florida.” The webinar will take place on January 26, 2022, from Noon-1:30 and is FREE.

The all-star panel features the Hon. Darrin P. Gayles, District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, Eric I. Bustillo, Director of the Miami Regional Office of the SEC, Corali Lopez-Castro, Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton, and Naim S. Surgeon, Stroock. The moderator will be Julie Braman Kane, Colson Hicks Eidson.
