  • Check out the new ABI World to view the upgraded Asset Sales Committee section. The new “committees” area of the web site allocates space for each ABI committee. From the home page, click on “About ABI” and then “Committees” to see all of ABI’s committees. In the left-hand navigation in blue, click on “Asset Sales.”

    Once you click on the Asset Sales committee, you will notice that the left-hand navigation in blue has changed again. Within the main page, you will see a listing of the committee chairs, the committee listserves (where you can join or view the Asset Sales committee listserve) and agendas for any upcoming meetings of the Asset Sales Committee. In the left-hand navigation you will note that beneath “Asset Sales” there are three new options: Minutes, Newsletter and Educational Materials. The “Minutes” page provides minutes from past Asset Sales Committee meetings. The “Newsletter” page provides all back issues of the Mass Torts electronic newsletter. The “Educational Materials” page provides educational materials from past conferences that address asset sale issues.

Keach (Bernstein, Shur, Sawyer & Nelson; Portland, Maine).
