Heston Interviewed about Chapter 11 Misconceptions
Mary Jo Heston was quoted in the Portland Business Journal on September 21, 2007, for an article headlined, "Businesses on the brink of bankruptcy should seek help." She spoke about common misconceptions about filing for Chapter 11, the most common being that Chapter 11 "will result in the death of their business," she said, adding that she has worked on many successful cases. "The second most common misconception is that Chapter 11 will fix a fundamentally bad business or one that has insufficient funds from operations or from a lender," Heston said. She spoke about when to consider bankruptcy and the latest bankruptcy rules.

Sweeney Quoted in Toy Safety Article in Puget Sound Business Journal
Emilia Sweeney was quoted in the Puget Sound Business Journal on September 21, 2007, in an article called, "In testing toys, are retailers taking liability risks?" The article explored how retailers are responding to recent high-profile recalls of toys manufactured in China. Sweeney said that when a retailer promises to ensure the safety of products it sells, it could possibly be construed as an express warranty, which could leave the retailer potentially liable. "If you go and tell the world that you're testing toys, and then you didn't test something and a problem was found, it would be worse for you in a lawsuit," she said. "Any time you make a public statement like that, you need to be very careful."
