Introduction
A core part of the course will deal with hands-on restructuring techniques, which will be simulated through a number of numerical exercises and case studies. To provide context for restructuring techniques we will cover best-practices in bank-internal workout units, and recent trends in regulation, supervision and insolvency law. We study real-life restructuring situations from Europe and emerging markets, also in case studies of corporate turnarounds.
Investment in NPL portfolios and distressed debt will be covered, as this present new opportunities in both regions. The economics of private sector debt distress and policies used to address such debt crises, will round off our programme.
At the end of the course you will be fluent in engaging with supervisors, other insolvency professionals and with investors in complex distressed situations. You will be in a position to negotiate in a creditor committee, or to navigate the court system in an insolvency. These will be key skills for your organisation in the coming years.
Ideal Students
