Putting Your Knowledge to Active Use – LBO Restructuring Case Study
October 24, 2008
On October 24, 2008, Cleary Gottlieb partner Dr. Werner Meier and associate Christophe Schauenburg will present at the the "Distressed Assets Boot Camp: The Full 360º View - Effectively Navigating the Market for Distressed Assets."
The case study will discuss legal issues, restructuring tools and solutions in the context of the different stages of a typical LBO restructuring.
The presentation will cover the time period between a default of the borrower under the financing arrangements and the completion of a restructuring process in the course of which the lenders take (partial) control over the borrower/target.
The case study will be based on the restructuring of a German borrower to allow a discussion of specific German law issues that may become relevant in the course of a restructuring process. Many of these issues, however, are also relevant in other jurisdictions.
Questions that will be discussed in this context include:
- What preparatory measures can be taken by the various parties?
- Which parties pursue which interests in the negotiations?
- What legal issues may arise in the different stages of the transaction?
- What decisions need to be taken by whom?
- What legal techniques are available to resolve which problems, in particular:
- out-of-court restructuring vs. restructuring in insolvency
- CoMI migration – pros and cons
- How can legal techniques be used to reach a certain result in the negotiations?
- How to document a deal?
- What you should know about German law when participating in a German restructuring?
