Distressed Companies Masterclass: What You Need to Know about Distressed Companies and Distressed Assets in Today’s Turbulent Economy

With the deterioration of the global economy, times are tough for companies in the US and abroad and those who lead them. But a gloomy economic outlook presents opportunities as well as threats. Now is the time to ensure that you have up-to-date knowledge of the key trends and hot issues concerning doing business with distressed companies.

Morrison & Foerster has assembled a team of attorneys from our bankruptcy, intellectual property and commercial practice groups to present a series of three lunch briefings exploring different aspects of how companies and investors can turn the current market situation to their advantage.

Session 2: January 28, 2009
Strategies for Acquiring Distressed Companies
While the current state of the U.S. economy may pose a threat to existing investors in distressed companies, opportunities also exist to acquire strategic assets and businesses on favorable terms.  

Our highly experienced team will lead a discussion on how bankruptcy sales are structured and conducted, and the ability of a buyer to acquire assets free and clear of liabilities. The program will cover the principal strategies that can be utilized in these situations.
