Corporate Restructuring and Bankruptcy partner Phillip Bentley was quoted in an article appearing in Legal Newsline that recapped the annual Asbestos Bankruptcy Conference held on June 20th in Chicago. Speaking on a panel entitled "The Role of 524(g) Trust Discovery in Asbestos Bankruptcy Cases," Bentley discussed the difficulty of accurately estimating the aggregate asbestos liability of today's corporate debtors. Citing his experience in the GM bankruptcy, Bentley argued that courts should look to the asbestos litigation experience of the 1990’s as much as that of the past decade, and that discovery from recently-formed asbestos trusts is often crucial to a fair estimation.
