The global private credit market had seen explosive growth, nearing $1.6 trillion and was projected to nearly double by 2028. Yet, this rapid expansion, coupled with market volatility, led to increasing distress in ever larger private credit facilities. 9fin data showed rising default risks, increased BDC non-accruals, and significant mark declines. When traditional strategies failed, lenders were increasingly forced into legal action to ensure and maximize recovery.

9fin and leading experts hosted a webinar on July 10th at 10am ET / 3pm GMT that demystified the escalating world of private credit enforcement. They provided essential insights into:

• Where enforcement actions were happening (NY, HK) and navigating common vs. civil law systems, including offshore.
• The "oh no" moments that sparked legal action, from technical defaults to misappropriation.
• Actual legal filings, investigations, asset seizure steps, and tactics when negotiations broke down.
• What lenders truly recovered, and what was lost by not acting.

This webinar equipped you to identify when to act, how to navigate complex legal landscapes, and the strategies to protect and maximize recoveries in the evolving private credit market. Attendees did not miss this opportunity to gain critical insights into safeguarding their investments.
