More speculative-grade debt exists now than any prior point in history, recession warnings are flashing, and pockets of stress are multiplying … yet the long-anticipated wave of defaults has stubbornly refused to arrive.
We’re hosting an in-person breakfast at The Monterey under the Chatham House Rule on June 24, 9-11am ET to discuss why, alongside:
- How firms are building the legal, operational, and analytical infrastructure to handle middle market restructuring at a scale the market has never seen
- Whether the macro setup (softening growth, geopolitical fragmentation, and $1T in speculative-grade maturities hitting in 2028) finally makes this time different
It’s a candid discussion on why the distressed wave is delayed — with intel you won’t find in published research.
Speakers include:
- Mark Buschmann, co-founder and partner, Ensis Partners
- Joel Moss, partner and bankruptcy / restructuring group chair, Cahill
- Mark Hootnick, independent director
Plus, the event will be facilitated by Max Frumes, our global head of distress and LevFin and co-author of the book on distressed, the Ceasar’s Palace Coup; and 9fin’s US Private Credit Editor Shubham Saharan.
This discussion won’t leave the room, so make sure you’re a part of it — register below.
