the Code Interactive Newsletter,” by Lisa G. Beckerman (Akin,
Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld LLP; New York), "Retention
of Investment Bankers in Chapter 11 Cases-§328(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code." An issue that frequently arises in connection with the
retention of investment bankers in chapter 11 cases is whether an investment
banker can be retained under §328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and
if so, what standard of review is applicable to the fee arrangement, including
any success fee arrangement.

are available online. The cost for this program is $295 (special prices
are available for government employees) and CLE credit is available in
some states.
