Panelists will provide a concise overview of the lifecycle of a corporate restructuring file from the initial call through stabilization, restructuring options, sale or refinancing strategy, and exit and will also focus on the role of NextGen professionals at each stage of the file, including how they can flag issues, support workstreams, add value and build credibility with clients and senior team members. Panelists will share practical career advice and candid war stories about the unexpected turns that make restructuring practice both challenging and rewarding.
