SUMMARY:Saving Business from Distress: Offering Support to Business via Restructuring 
DESCRIPTION:There is no doubt that the last few years have generated unexpected and disruptive events that have added increased pressures to which companies have had to adapt. In these economic turbulent times\, industries\, such as aviation\, finance\, energy and retail have had to get creative about how to plan for the future and address changes emerging from Covid-19 pandemic\, high inflation\, and rising interest rates. \nJoin BAB and our expert panel as they discuss the increasingly aggressive\, dynamic and complex environment that businesses are facing\, and how taking proactive steps to anticipate issues and implement appropriate financial and operational solutions can help meet and overcome these challenges. \nThe panel will deeper dive into solvent recapitalisation\, liability management and restructuring from the perspective of US and UK cross-border businesses\, offering insight\, guidance and strategies regarding the current tool kits available to enhance options and optimise outcomes in a changing global environment. Cross-border businesses often require more innovative and thoughtful solutions to preserve enterprise value and avoid and\, if necessary\, overcome financial distress and whilst there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution\, restructuring plans will almost certainly be used more in the future for creative and efficient problem-solving solutions. \n
