Safe Harbors for derivatives contracts under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code have for decades protected the rights of non-debtor counterparties in this vital marketplace. Long thought to be both essential to the proper functioning of derivative markets and bulwarks against systemic risk, the Safe Harbors have more recently become the subject of intense criticism, especially since the financial crisis. Moreover, the international regulatory response to the financial crisis has begun to impose new limitations on the exercise of Safe Harbor rights of non-debtor derivatives counterparties not only under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code but also under other major U.S. and non-U.S. bankruptcy and insolvency regimes. A basic understanding of the Safe Harbors and the current attacks and limitations on them is essential to derivatives, bankruptcy, securities, banking and finance lawyers, whether they have established practices or are just beginning their careers. This program will provide an introduction to the Safe Harbors and their role in derivatives transactions and the financial system, and it will also furnish an opportunity for experienced practitioners to engage in a lively discussion of the cross-currents of criticisms and concerns now confronting the derivatives and bankruptcy bars.
