Let’s Get Real: Fishing Out of Your Depth in Federal Receiverships

Danielle Rushing Behrends will present at the NAFER Annual Conference, which takes place in Key Largo, Florida, October 7-10. Behrends will serve as a co-panelist for “Let’s Get Real: Fishing Out of Your Depth in Federal Receiverships.” The panel will dive into federal equity receiverships, where no two cases are alike and the only constant is uncertainty. This panel is designed from the perspective of younger professionals navigating the “deep end” of federal equity receiverships and looking to avoid early missteps that can lead to loss of value, loss of trust, or even personal liability. From day-one decision-making to midstream asset recovery and endgame enforcement, the panel will share practical strategies for navigating a federal receivership and knowing when to ask for help.

Whether you’re facing overlapping enforcement actions, managing unusual assets like crypto or cattle, or trying to make sense of incomplete records and encrypted devices, this panel has you covered. It will also explore communication strategies for dealing with investors and regulators, discuss early investigative steps and claims analysis, and provide practical tools for avoiding legal and operational missteps.
