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

SUMMARY:Let's Talk Estate Planning: US Estate Considerations For Non-Citizens 
DESCRIPTION:BABC Texas and Member Jackson Walker present Let’s Talk Estate Planning: U.S. Estate Considerations for Non-Citizens \nSpeakers: Sarah Patel Pacheco\, Partner\, Jackson Walker LLP and Scott Schepps\, Partner\, Jackson Walker LLP \nAre you a non-U.S. citizen working and living in the United States? Have you wondered whether you need a will\, trust or other documents while here? Join Jackson Walker for a discussion about estate issues that citizens of the U.K. and other countries face when they decide to reside in the U.S.\, either temporarily or long-term. Learn how to create an estate plan that will not only reduce future taxes and costs but also minimize the risk of disputes between beneficiaries. \nWe’ll address such questions as: \n\nWhat is estate planning and is it necessary for non-U.S. citizens?\nShould I consider executing a U.S. will or trust\, even if I only plan to be here for a limited period of time?  Does Texas require me to leave my assets in a certain way?\nWhat happens if I pass away unexpectedly and I don’t have a will?\nIf I were to die in the U.S. as a non-citizen\, where will my estate be administered?\nIn the event of my death\, what arrangements can/should be made for my children if they are minors?\nWhat if I become incapacitated while living in the U.S.?\nDoes the U.S. have an estate tax or inheritance tax at death?\nWhat are the differences between estate taxation of U.S. citizens and non-citizens?\nWhat are the differences between estate taxation of U.S. residents and non-residents?\nIf I plan to live in the U.S. indefinitely but remain a non-citizen\, what considerations do I need to make in my estate plan?\nIs there a way to avoid having my estate subject to U.S. estate taxes?\n\nRegister here and a Zoom link will be sent ahead of the event.
