NEW BERN, N.C.—White & Allen, P.A. attorney John C. Bircher III will speak about the growing prevalence of bankruptcies at a special program being presented by the North Carolina Bar Association in early September.
The program, slated for September 12 at the North Carolina Bar Center in Cary, is titled Basics of Bankruptcy: A Practical Guide for the New Practitioner.
Bircher, who heads White & Allen’s New Bern office, will comment primarily about representing creditors in consumer and business cases. Bircher’s White & Allen firm is headquartered in Kinston with offices in Snow Hill and New Bern.
Planned by the North Carolina Bar Association’s Bankruptcy Section, the upcoming program is part of the Bar’s Continuing Legal Education (CLE) effort and is being presented by the North Carolina Bar Association Foundation.
Bircher noted, “With more and more bankruptcies occurring and the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act only a few years in existence, this area of the law is rapidly evolving.”
Bircher received his undergraduate degree from UNC-Chapel Hill in criminal justice in 1992 and his law degree from the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University in 1997.
Bircher’s practice is concentrated in the areas of bankruptcy, government, civil litigation, creditors’ rights, federal administrative law, administrative hearings and appeals, business planning and business law.
He is licensed to practice before all North Carolina courts, and the Federal Court for all districts in North Carolina.
