On October 31, Bankruptcy and Litigation partner Taruna Garg will participate in a discussion titled, "Bankruptcy and Civil Justice: Alex Jones, Purdue Pharma, and the Texas Two-Step." The discussion is part of the Federal Practice Section's District of Connecticut Bench-Bar Conference.
Taruna, alongside Irve Goldman (Pullman & Comley LLC), Eric Henzy (Zeisler & Zeisler PC) and Alinor Sterling (Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder PC) will discuss three stories with common themes: the effort of the Sandy Hook plaintiffs to collect from Alex Jones; the Supreme Court's rejection of the Purdue Pharma opioid settlement; and the attempts by alleged corporate tortfeasors to limit their liability by moving assets into shell companies and declaring them bankrupt.
The Honorable Ann M. Nevins, Chief Judge of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut, will moderate the discussion.
Praised by the Connecticut Bar Association for her “strong work ethic,” Taruna brings more than 20 years of experience to her practice and has a deep understanding of banking and finance. She represents business debtors and their directors, officers and employees; secured and unsecured creditors; trustees; creditor committees; insurance companies; and contract counterparties such as landlords, suppliers and vendors.
