Last month, we explained that when a once steady and reliable customer becomes delinquent in payment and eventually files for bankruptcy protection, your client becomes one of many creditors trying to recover a portion of its investment. We explained how, whenever a creditor receives a benefit from a debtor shortly before the debtor files for bankruptcy, a preferential transfer may occur. And we showed how section 547(b) of the Bankruptcy Code permits a trustee to avoid pre-bankruptcy transfers as "preferences." The first tactic we discussed for defending such preference actions was to dispute plaintiff's <i>prima facie</i> case. In this month's installment, we discuss preference avoidance by statutory exception, and the availability of a jury trial.

Agentic AI introduces risks that are novel and complex, but the most effective response is a familiar one. Zero Trust answers the problem of when an AI agent misfires on its own by constraining what an agent can do rather than betting on how it will behave.
California is betting that it can accelerate AI adoption by acting as a demanding, trusted buyer, and that the governance evidence it extracts through procurement can become infrastructure the rest of the market reuses.
The outsourcing of office and administrative services is expected to grow 50%-60% in the next five years. Contrary to what decision-makers think, and what the service providers hope you think, the biggest risk in outsourcing isn't choosing the wrong provider. It's outsourcing the wrong process, under the wrong model, with the wrong performance measures and contract terms.
