Description

This session looks at why companies across the Americas are increasingly turning to foreign restructuring processes. The panel will discuss

  • Rising use of UK, Canadian, Spanish and US courts by Latin American debtors
  • Limitations of local restructuring laws driving outward filings
  • Greater reliance on US Chapter 11 and Chapter 15 for complex regional restructurings
  • Are high costs and the post-Purdue environment driving US companies abroad?
