This conference will include:

Significantly underfunded pensions, crippling retiree medical obligations, substantial intercompany claims, complicated debt structures, and massive numbers of asbestos and other tort claims are just a few of the difficult issues that have the potential, by themselves, to derail a successful restructuring.

Invest in this Audio CD (recorded May 2007) for a discussion with Greg Gordon and Dave Heiman, partners in the Business Restructuring & Reorganization Practice of Jones Day, about strategies for handling the myriad challenges that can arise in a complex restructuring case.

You'll examine:

· How to restructure debt guaranteed by affiliates, debt incurred by different affiliates or groups of affiliates, and structurally or contractually subordinated debt

· How to resolve pension and retiree medical liabilities established under collective bargaining agreements or otherwise

· How to tackle the inevitable intercompany claim issues that arise in filings by companies with multiple affiliates

· How to prevent the existence or prospect of substantial litigation from delaying the restructuring process

· How to protect assets in foreign jurisdictions and preserve the value of foreign operations

· How to permanently insulate a company from present and future mass tort liabilities, including asbestos liability

· How to promote consensus on, and achieve confirmation of, a plan of reorganization that resolves all issues

Who Will Benefit:
Restructuring and bankruptcy professionals, including attorneys, financial advisors and crisis and turnaround managers. Lenders and investors in distressed businesses, including financial institutions, hedge funds and private equity funds. Executives and members of the Board of financially troubled companies, including companies with mass tort liability. Labor law and pension and benefits professionals with clients in financial difficulty.
