From free falls to strategic restructurings, 2025 saw companies hit the bankruptcy courts hard—testing new structures, pushing venue boundaries, and reshaping what a "successful" Chapter 11 looks like. As we head into 2026, the playbook is evolving fast. Join 9fin for a webinar on Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. ET to decode what worked, what backfired, and what you need to know before the next wave of filings hits your desk.

Speakers include:

  • Scott J. Greenberg, Partner and Global Chair of Business Restructuring and Reorganization Practice Group, Gibson Dunn
  • Damian Schaible, Partner and Co-Head of our Restructuring Practice, Davis Polk
  • Ray C. Schrock, Partner and Global Chair of the Restructuring & Special Situations Practice, Latham & Watkins LLP
  • Sunny Singh, Partner and Co-Chair of the Restructuring Department, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
  • Josh Sussberg, Executive Committee Member and Partner in the Restructuring Practice Group, Kirkland & Ellis
  • Paul M. Basta, Partner & Co-chair of the Restructuring Department, Paul, Weiss
  • Cat Corey, Distressed Legal Analyst, 9fin

What we'll cover:

  • The return of the free fall as distressed situations accelerated faster than expected
  • Backstop commitments and how they're being structured to control outcomes before cases even begin
  • Hot venues and where debtors are forum shopping (and why it matters to your recovery)
  • DIP roll-ups that are reshaping creditor hierarchies mid-case
  • Industry susceptibility and which sectors are most exposed heading into 2026
  • Deal highlights from the year's most sophisticated restructurings
  • Predictions for 2026 and where the next wave of distress will hit

Whether you're evaluating DIP financing, positioning for creditor committees, or tracking portfolio exposure, the intelligence shared in this session will directly impact how you approach Q1 2026.
