CRG Partners; New York
At the ABI Winter Leadership Conference in December 2007, the Financial Advisors Committee, in concert with the Investment Banking Committee, the Public Company and Claims Trading Committee, and the Professional Compensation Committee had the pleasure of presenting a joint educational session following the presentation of ABI’s landmark Professional Fee Study by Professor Stephen Lubben of Seton Hall University School of Law.
The following is a brief synopsis of the study’s methodology and findings, as well as Mr. Shapiro’s take on what the practical implication of the study is to the financial advisory community.

how intellectual property is typically valued; and 3) how this value is
realized/monetized in a bankruptcy or restructuring case. The panel will consist of: 1) a
prominent intellectual property attorney; 2) a prominent intellectual property
valuation consultant; and 3) an investment banker with experience and focus on
transactions involving significant intellectual property.
