Workout bankers, turnaround financiers and insolvency practitioners have rarely been as busy and as topical as they are today. Yet, a pervasive liquidity, a new found taste for distressed investment and high profile restructurings will present new challenges and opportunities to restructuring experts.
In this climate we bring together the leading European financial restructuring experts and a time when their services are most needed to discuss the most pressing issues facing Corporate Restructuring in Europe and share their insights and ingenuity.
The 7th Annual European Corporate Restructuring Summit regularly attracts the most senior market players and will be your unmissable chance to hear from some of the finest minds in the field as well as discuss their techniques while also showcasing your abilities. This conference is the opportunity not only to learn about the latest developments and practices in the Corporate Restructuring world, but also meet the people in the driving seat.
Key issues to be discussed at this year’s summit will include:
· The liquidity drought and what it means for corporate restructuring, default patterns and rating agency practices
· Rescue financing as a new source of deal flow for bankers, hedge funds and private equity houses, and the barriers they face in reworking and investing in distressed corporates
· Consensual problems, debt complexities and competing economic interests in post credit crunch restructurings
· How the experts are coping with documentation and covenant dilemmas that lead to unexpected insolvencies and complex restructurings
· Private equity’s growing role in turnaround investing and corporate restructuring
· Insolvency and restructuring actions and trends in various European economies
· An in depth analysis of the opportunities, nuances and challenges faced in the sectors seeing the most restructuring activity
· PLUS: An intensive workshop in valuing a distressed European business from it’s management structures to it’s predicted cash flows in a volatile market
