Corporate Restructuring provides financial, strategic and legal frameworks that are essential for every manager’s toolbox. From Enron to TXU to LyondellBasell to American Airlines, you will learn the complex issues that arise when collecting from bankrupt customers, managing the impact of a vendor’s distress, turning around underperforming businesses, and acquiring or divesting troubled businesses. Why do companies fail? How do you manage a failing business with dwindling liquidity? How can lessons from major bankruptcies be applied to turning around troubled business units? How can one company’s distress disrupt an entire supply chain? How can a plan of reorganization enable a bankrupt competitor to lower prices? How do you value a business with negative earnings? When is a deep value investment a diamond-in-the-rough versus fool’s gold? How can you monetize bankruptcy claims? When does a corporate spinoff risk a fraudulent transfer? How can you defend against voidable preference litigation? What rights do you have when your counterparty defaults on a derivatives contract? Why would you want to serve on a creditors’ committee? What are effective bidding strategies for a 363 auction? What can credit default swaps reveal about your competition? Should you expect international insolvency laws to be similar to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code?
