Updated by one of the original authors, Deborah Thorne (Barnes & Thornburg LLP; Chicago), the Handbook is designed to assist practitioners and credit professionals in evaluating the available defenses that may be asserted in a preference avoidance action. Including important changes made by BAPCPA, the author has updated the book to include a review of all the leading cases in each circuit, interpreting the most common defenses and providing a helpful roadmap for those facing preference demands.
