Derivatives in Bankruptcy
Speakers from Chatham Financial will join us to give a presentation on derivatives in bankruptcy. Derivatives are an integral part of global financial markets, and are commonly used by both companies and banks to mitigate risk. Whether a company is faced with potential bankruptcy/restructuring or their counterparty bank becomes insolvent, it is important for that company to assemble a team of legal, business, and economic/market practice experts to 1) maximize any hedge asset value (or minimize any hedge liability); 2) optimally restructure and/or replace any ongoing hedges; 3) calculate all valuations using a commercially reasonable process; 4) and adhere to a method that withstands potential attacks of litigation. Please note: RSVPs are necessary for security purposes. Please remember to bring a form of ID with you. Drinks and dessert will be provided. |
