Distressed M&A Primer: Opportunities in a Post-Pandemic Economy

Ballard Spahr Restructuring, White Collar, and Private Equity attorneys will discuss the likely post-pandemic opportunities for private equity firms. In particular, they will analyze the opportunities to acquire businesses now in distress as a result of the lock-down, with a substantial need for de-leveraging, at potentially favorable prices. The discussion will include:

• The economic and transactional structure considerations for a distressed asset acquisition
• The assessment of exposure risk for possible prior bad acts
• Procedural considerations including out of court transactions vs. sales under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code
