The restructuring landscape has witnessed a notable shift in the second half of 2025, with distressed companies increasingly deploying liability management exercises (LMEs) that prioritize certain creditor classes over others.

9fin’s upcoming breakfast and networking event will examine the catalysts behind this transformation toward more aggressive restructuring tactics.

Join us in-person at Monterey in NYC, to analyze the confluence of factors driving this evolution, including the impact of shifting interest rate environments, evolving macroeconomic conditions, and changing risk appetites among sponsors and creditors.

The discussion, under the Chatham House rules, will explore whether we’re witnessing a permanent return to more contentious restructuring strategies and, if so, what forms these "violent" approaches are taking in today's market.

Speakers include:

• Jane Komsky, Head of LMEs, 9fin (Moderator)
• Austin Witt, PC, Debt Finance Partner, Kirkland & Ellis
• Barak Klein, Managing Director & Co-Head of US Capital Structure Advisory, Moelis
• Alexander Tracy, Partner & U.S. Head of Restructuring, Perella Weinberg
• Jay Weinberger, Managing Director in the Financial Restructuring Group, Houlihan Lokey
• Justin Lee, Partner and Co-Head of the Banking & Finance practice and Global Head of Liability Management and Strategic Capital Solutions, Weil
