March Brown Bag Program ACC
San Diego
We are looking forward to the
March Brown Bag Program today:
The Bankruptcy Battlefield - What
You Need to Know. Sponsored by
FOLEY & LARDNER
With the filing of high profile
bankruptcy cases by the Los
Angeles Dodgers, American
Airlines, Kodak, GM and others, it
is increasingly clear that many
corporate battles are being fought
in the bankruptcy arena. Whether
as a creditor, vendor, licensee of
intellectual property or otherwise,
no company is immune from being
touched by bankruptcy
proceedings. Please join our
partners Mikel Bistrow and Victor
Vilaplana as they present an
overview of what you need to
know to be prepared.
Program topics will include the
following:
* Types of bankruptcy
proceedings and their features
* Creditor claims
* “How do I get paid?” – Doing
business with debtors in
bankruptcy
* Protection of intellectual
property rights in bankruptcy
* “What do you mean I have to
give money back?" – Preferences
* Opportunities for acquisition of
assets
Great Turn Out at the ACC Event!
We had a great turn out at the
ACC Nevada Chapter event
today! Over 50 people attended
to hear about: Navigating
Expectations of Privacy in a Social
Media World. The event was held
at McCormick & Schmick's
Seafood Restaurant in Las
Vegas. The lesson and the lunch
was great! The speakers were
phenomenal Richard G. Campbell
Jr., Managing Attorney -
Armstrong Teasdale Reno Office
and Bret F. Meich, Associate -
Armstrong Teasdale Reno Office
Business Litigation Department. A
huge thanks to the other
sponsors Armstrong Teasdale,
Thompson Reuters and Westlaw.
Gained some great insight to
social media use in and outside of
the workplace continues to
proliferate. Improper use carries
risks to businesses, such as
unauthorized disclosure of
confidential information,
infringement on intellectual
property rights and unlawful
harassment. These risks affect
employment decisions, gaming
regulations, litigation strategies
and government security
clearances. And how businesses
can get the most out of social
media while minimizing the risks.
Praise from our Candidates
I cannot thank you enough for
being on top of the employment
opportunities opening up and
letting me know about them. You
were one of a few agencies that I
have been contact with, however,
I truly feel at ease working with
you and appreciate your
promptness and thoroughness in
helping me with my transition to
San Diego. I was just contacted
by one of the other agencies
about the position you have
already have me set up to
interview with. I can't believe it
took them this long...
I know I have told you this before,
but I wanted to say it again...that
you have made this transition
smoother for me by knowing that I
have you on my team.

Written by Rebecca Smith, Director of Community
Engagement for The Eastridge Group of
Staffing Companies.
The relevance of community
involvement for legal professionals
November 25, 2013
Employee engagement and professional development are
closely linked to community involvement. Omar Passons
definitely lives that reality. Besides his work as an attorney
with Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz in San Diego, Passons
serves on various boards throughout the region. He is
also known for founding the “Craft Brew Debates,” a
speaker series focused on important civic issues.
Why do you choose to serve the community through
these organizations?
This decision varies based on the organization. I feel
strongly that my being in a position to help is reason to do
so – because many people can't help. I also believe these
organizations are useful for each other, so I can serve as
a bridge between them. For example, training efforts of
the San Diego Workforce Partnership and employment
needs of homeless women at Rachel's Women's Center
can both be served, as I can connect the two
organizations. As an attorney, I bring a specific
perspective and skillset to this work, because my career
requires a certain type of analysis. As a member of the
San Diego community, I can help more people enjoy the
benefits our region has to offer.
How and when did you get started with board service?
I started in my immediate neighborhood as a way to help
improve quality of life issues and to use my skills as a land
use and construction attorney for developers and public
entities to shape land use decisions at the local level.
How do you balance these commitments with your “day
job?”
My firm has been very committed to the San Diego
community for 30 years, and our attorneys embrace the
ideals my service represents.
Also, I don't sleep much.

Holtz and serves on various boards throughout the
region. Courtesy photo
What advice would you give to other legal professionals
who want to get more involved in the community?
Choose something you enjoy or care about to get
involved in and it will be easier to stay with it. Business
opportunities come regardless of what area you choose,
as people see that you are honest, skilled and
dependable.
Omar Passons was recently named the President of the
Earl B. Gilliam Bar Association of San Diego County. He
serves on the Board of Directors for the United Way of
San Diego County, the North Park Community Association
and the Lambda Archives of San Diego. He is a member
of the San Diego Workforce Investment Board. Passons is
on the Catholic Charities Homeless Women's Services
Advisory Committee and the Leadership Council of San
Diego Foundation Center for Civic Engagement.
