Strategies for today’s rapidly changing economic and financial environment

Today's businesses face an increasing array of challenges with global economic uncertainty and change. The credit crunch and over-leveraged situations are creating a crisis environment for an increasing number of operationally sound but financially distressed companies.

There are a broad range of possibilities for financiers, advisers and investors seeking to participate and profit from corporate and financial restructurings, turnarounds, special situations, insolvencies and distressed opportunities. However, in Asia’s multi-jurisdictional business, legal and regulatory environment, in-depth experience, expertise and understanding will be critical pre-requisites for success.

This conference and associated workshops will explore the often complex “value chain” and strategies involved in participating in and profiting from restructuring, insolvency and distressed opportunities including:

• Spotting and evaluating distressed companies for restructuring and rescue planning
• Assessment and valuation - distressed assets, cash position, due diligence and turnaround feasibility
• Debt refinancing - workout strategies, de-leveraging, debt rescheduling and rehabilitation
• Corporate restructuring - adding value and an optimal structure to support recovery; directors’ duties and disclosure obligations
• Investor opportunities - strategies for investing in distressed businesses with turnaround potential
• Insolvency and liquidation processes - implications of differing jurisdictions
