Chapter 11 Creditor Committee Formation and Defense Attorneys
Two different cases get conflated here, and they have different defendants. Preference and fraudulent transfer claims target whoever received the money. A vendor paid in the ninety days before filing. A lender repaid. An insider who took a distribution. These are claims about payments, and the defense runs through the statutory exceptions — payments in the ordinary course of dealing, exchanges for contemporaneous new value, and credit extended after the payment. Claims against officers personally are a separate matter, resting on fiduciary duty rather than on any transfer: self-dealing, unlawful distributions, and decisions made while the company was insolvent. The committee cannot simply sue. Avoidance claims belong to the estate, and a creditors' committee must obtain derivative standing from the court, showing that the debtor in possession has unjustifiably declined to pursue them. That motion is often the moment the conflict surfaces — the officers running the debtor have little incentive to sue themselves, and once the committee says so on the record, separate counsel becomes necessary. For creditors on the receiving end, a demand letter is not a judgment. The trustee bears the burden on the elements, and must undertake reasonable diligence into available defenses before filing. Many demands settle well below face value for that reason. We represent creditors defending avoidance actions and officers facing claims arising from the estate.
