ABI's 7th Annual Complex Financial Restructuring Program will be held September 20 at the Fordham University School of Law in New York. This program offers a unique opportunity to gain an understanding of the various roles played by investment bankers, financial advisors and others representing stakeholders in today's complex cases. This year's hypothetical case of "Vandelay Industries Inc." will be dramatized by parties-in-interest as they examine strategic alternatives and seek the highest value for a troubled company. Throughout the one-day program, experienced professionals from the fields of finance, investment banking, accounting, law and turnaround play the roles of the constituents - company board, management, secured debt, trade creditors, attorneys and advisors, the government and others. From the decision concerning whether to file for bankruptcy through the exit strategy, the parties grapple with the real-world problems in real-time. Their positions frequently conflict and the debates can be heated, just as in today's cases.
This year will also mark the First Annual Anthony H.N. Schnelling Lecture in Commercial Bankruptcy. The lecture will feature a leading figure in the restructuring world, as a tribute to the memory of Tony Schnelling, a former ABI Vice President-Development. The first lecturer will be Hon. Burton R. Lifland, who, like Tony, is an alumnus of Fordham University School of Law.
