OBA Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: September 23, 2021

Join us to hear from distinguished leaders in the insolvency space as they share their perspectives on developing trends and emerging issues at this critical juncture in the pandemic, as lockdowns are lifted and we look forward to (hopefully) returning to some semblance of business normalcy. Our experts will speak from their respective areas of expertise in banking, law, and accounting, as they address timely issues including:

• How bankers, debtors and creditors are preparing for the post-lockdown world and the anticipated uptick in economic activity;
• How particularly pandemic-distressed industries such as retail, cannabis and commercial real estate are faring;
• Whether the expansion of creative workout and restructuring solutions that prospered during the pandemic are likely to continue; and
• Emerging issues and predictions for the near term.
