Robert Klyman of Latham & Watkins demystifies the complex world of corporate restructuring.
Corporate restructuring is an indispensable tool for re-engineering companies to better compete on a global playing field. It's a notoriously complex field, employing a variety of recombinant techniques, including mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, divestitures and spin-offs, all of which can impact the financial markets far beyond the individual companies they involve. This panel focused on how to identify and respond to potential restructuring opportunities, including those that call for nonstandard corporate finance solutions. How can companies decide which financial restructuring program will best address the issues they confront? What are the newest investment banking strategies available? What roles do hedge funds play? How can distressed companies restructure their balance sheets by accessing the capital markets rather than resorting to insolvency proceedings? What are the latest developments in regulation and corporate governance? How does restructuring affect efficiency and shareholder wealth in the long term? How can investors benefit?
