CMS Restructuring Wednesdays

CMS Restructuring Wednesdays

CMS is organizing a series of seminars: “Restructuring Wednesdays", tackling the key issues that regularly arise in the course of the restructuring assets and liabilities of troubled companies from both a creditor and debtor perspective.

The seminars will provide insight for a wide audience, including bankers, in-house lawyers, financial advisors, CFOs and private equity and real estate investors.

The seminars will be run by Czech and English qualified partners and senior associates of CMS Prague. Participation in the seminars is free and it is open for you to take part in all sessions, or only in those of your specific areas of interest. Registration for each of the seminars starts at 8:30am and the seminars will run from 9 to 11am.

Wednesday 6 March - Debt restructuring

Restructuring assets and liabilities of a troubled company whilst avoiding a court driven insolvency process can preserve value for all stakeholders.  In this session, we will dissect the strategy and core components of restructuring solutions. We will also assess the common hurdles that may arise in the restructuring process and address how they may be resolved.

Wednesday 20 March - Foreclosure of collateral

This session will explore the different ways of conducting a foreclosure and enforcement process for the various asset classes, in particular, real estate. We will analyse the benefits and disadvantages of the available options.

Wednesday 3 April - Distressed acquisitions / pre-packed reorganisations

Purchasing distressed assets and companies carries certain challenges and requires an understanding of a wide range of issues beyond financial restructuring, such as employment, anti-trust or regulatory matters. This session considers the structuring of distressed sales, including approaches such as “pre-packaged” reorganisation plans.  Our lawyers will discuss issues relevant to both sellers and purchasers, including on the acquisition of assets in and through bankruptcy.

Wednesday 24 April - Insolvency

This session will examine the methods available to deal with insolvency, factors influencing the choice of process as well as advantages and disadvantages of judicial bankruptcy liquidations. We will also consider Director’s liability issues related to insolvencies. Our lawyers will discuss the latest case law that may be relevant mainly from the creditors’ perspective.
