Description
Lender on lender violence” has moved from a US phenomenon to a global restructuring strategy, reshaping capital structures from New York to Paris and beyond. The panel will bring together US, European and cross-border perspectives to examine how uptiers, dropdowns, distressed disposals and co-operation agreements are being deployed and challenged across jurisdictions. It will explore whether courts, drafting and market discipline will curb these liability management tactics, and whether engineered creditor hierarchies are now a permanent feature of global finance.
