In this session, Josh Altman, leader of the firm’s Restructuring & Insolvency practice group, shares a practical perspective on how companies navigate financial distress. Drawing on real-world experience, he explores how legal frameworks and business realities intersect when timing, liquidity, and stakeholder pressures are critical.
The discussion covers how to respond when customers, suppliers, or landlords face distress or bankruptcy, including managing payment risk, supply chain disruption, and key Chapter 11 considerations such as executory contracts and creditor rights. Josh also outlines what companies should do when facing their own challenges, with a focus on early action, preserving flexibility, and maintaining strong governance.
