Seth H. Lieberman, Patrick Sibley and Matthew W. Silverman of Pryor Cashman write: While the bankruptcy bar's reaction to 'Asarco' was short of enthusiastic, most have since embraced the subsequent jurisprudence narrowly construing 'Asarco' and limiting its holding to the compensation of bankruptcy estate professionals.

Elizabeth Aboulafia of Cullen and Dykman writes: When general contractors who perform work on construction projects subject to the New York Lien Law file for bankruptcy protection, subcontractors and suppliers that take advantage of the provisions of Article 3-A of the New York Lien Law can maximize recoveries on their claims against the debtor/contractor and utilize the tools available through the bankruptcy process to obtain greater negotiating leverage and oversight over the debtor/contractor's operations.

Leslie A. Berkoff and Krista L. Kulp of Moritt Hock & Hamroff write: The power of bankruptcy courts to adjudicate Medicare provider agreements has been addressed by several circuit courts in recent years. Given the distressed nature of the health care industry and the continued bankruptcy filings by health care providers, this issue has become more prominent. However, several circuit courts determined that bankruptcy courts lack jurisdiction to adjudicate these issues; and, recently, the First Circuit took an unusual approach.

In our last column we reported on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Czyzewski v. Jevic Holding, 137 S. Ct. 973 (2017). In that decision, the court ruled a bankruptcy court may not order a structured dismissal of a Chapter 11 case that provides for estate assets to be distributed in violation of the Bankruptcy Code's distribution scheme. The decision was widely discussed by bankruptcy practitioners, in part because there are a number of common practices in Chapter 11 that also distribute estate assets in violation of the bankruptcy code's distribution scheme.

In their Bankruptcy Practice column, John J. Rapisardi and Joseph Zujkowski write: At the end of last year, the Third Circuit added to several recent decisions addressing whether a creditor was entitled to payment of a "make whole" premium in connection with a Chapter 11 case. The opinion is the most creditor-friendly decision issued to date on this issue, as the court found that the refinancing of certain first and second lien notes after the Chapter 11 cases were commenced triggered payment of a "make whole" premium.
