Distressed Debt and Corporate Restructuring Short Course

1 credits · Law School

This short course will explore the highly active and sophisticated dealmaking environment that is the hallmark of modern distressed corporate restructuring—both under the supervision of a federal court applying chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and through an agreement reached by a company and its creditors in out-of-court negotiations. This short course will teach students the chapter 11 and restructuring basic, focusing primarily on real word implications through both substantive lectures, case studies, and at the end of the course, students will have the opportunity to participate in a “mock boards” exercise where K&E attorneys will act as board members of a company in distress and students will put on a board presentation. Bankruptcy, Secured Transactions, and/or Chapter 11 Reorganizations are helpful but not required. Pass/Fail. [1]
