Portrait of Tara Bush

Tara Bush

Attorney

Tara Bush helps businesses, creditors, lenders, trustees, and other stakeholders navigate the challenges of bankruptcy and restructuring matters. Drawing on her experience as both an attorney and former business owner, she develops practical strategies tailored to each client’s industry, business objectives, and financial circumstances.

Tara advises clients on a broad range of issues that impact their interests in bankruptcy proceedings, including debtor-in-possession financing, sale transactions, stay relief motions, lease assumption and rejection disputes, reorganization plans, contested matters, and adversary proceedings involving preference, fraudulent transfer, and other avoidance claims. She regularly represents secured and unsecured creditors, bankruptcy trustees, receivers, and creditor committees in complex insolvency matters.

Her experience includes representing a Chapter 7 trustee in the Tuesday Morning bankruptcy cases, serving as counsel to the official unsecured creditors committee of respirator claimants in the Aearo Chapter 11 proceedings, representing landlords in major retail and hospitality restructurings, advising secured lenders in Chapter 11 and Subchapter V cases, and representing a court-appointed receiver in a multi-facility healthcare receivership.

Before entering private practice, Tara served as a law clerk to the Honorable E. Lee Morris of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. That experience provided a strong foundation in the Bankruptcy Code and continues to inform her practical approach to client service.

G2. Designing Secure Practices: Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, Contractual Provisions, and Insurance Risks for Architects (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) Architects and design professionals increasingly rely on cloud platforms, BIM software, and digital tools to manage sensitive data, creating cybersecurity and privacy risks. A single incident can trigger liability claims, regulatory obligations, reputational harm, and insurance challenges. Yet many firms underestimate how contracts, insurance, and internal practices intersect during a breach. This program offers legal and insurance perspectives on cyber risk in architecture, examining liability exposure, risky contract provisions, and mitigation strategies. A cyber insurance expert will explain policy responses, coverage gaps, coordination with professional liability, and best practices for aligning insurance with contractual risk and protecting firms from evolving cyber threats. Learning Objectives: Identify key cybersecurity and data privacy risks faced by architecture firms and explain how these risks can impact professional liability and project outcomes. Analyze common contractual provisions to determine which clauses may increase exposure to cyber incidents and propose strategies to mitigate these risks. Evaluate the scope and limitations of cyber insurance policies, including coordination with professional liability coverage, to determine how a policy would respond in a breach scenario. Develop actionable risk management strategies by integrating legal, contractual, and insurance considerations to protect sensitive client and project data.
