WASHINGTON, DC — Arent Fox's Mark M. Katz will moderate a panel discussion among some of the leading executives in the fields of banking and real estate investing, who will gather at the Council of Foreign Relations in Washington, DC, to talk about the continued rise of bank failures and troubled assets. The discussion will focus on the role of the FDIC in reshaping the banking landscape, including issues involving the sale of loans, loan participation interests, and equity interests.

What opportunities are out there for private investors to purchase loans and structured assets? What role do third party financial advisers play in the process? Will there be an increase in loan sales and structured sales in 2010? What role do special servicers play?
