NALFA hosts a podcast series on attorney fee issues.  We talk with thought leaders, attorney fee experts, and attorney fee newsmakers who’ve helped shape and influence the jurisprudence of reasonable attorney fees.  NALFA interviews members, faculty, judges, law professors, in-house counsel, and others on a range of attorney fee and legal billing issues.

NALFA’s third podcast features an interview with NALFA member and bankruptcy fee examiner Robert M. Fishman.  Robert Fishman is a partner at Shaw Fishman in Chicago.  The NALFA podcast with Robert Fishman focused on his background and his work in bankruptcy cases.  Robert Fishman has represented a range of clients and stakeholders in bankruptcy proceedings.

Fishman discusses the role of the bankruptcy fee examiner, the stakeholders in bankruptcy cases, and his work as a fee examiner in the large City of Detroit Chapter 9 bankruptcy case.  Fishman also discusses the effectiveness of bankruptcy mediation and shares his thoughts on the U.S. Trustee Program and their billing guidelines.

“These podcasts are the perfect broadcast format to discuss attorney fee and legal billing issues,” said Terry Jesse, Executive Director of NALFA.  “In addition to his work, Robert Fishman also shares his philosophy of examining fees and expenses in large Chapter 11 Cases,” concluded Jesse.  Click on the link below to listen to the NALFA podcast:
