2023 Edition of Wachtell’s “Distressed Investing, Mergers & Acquisitions”

Wachtell Lipton recently published the 2023 edition of its 226-page “Distressed Investing, Mergers & Acquisitions” publication.  Here’s how Wachtell describes the guide and its importance in the current environment:

As companies in the United States and abroad seek to manage the effects of rising interest rates, inflationary pressure, and economic uncertainty, increased financial distress may well emerge, along with opportunities for investment in distressed assets or businesses.  The 2023 edition of our guide to Distressed Investing, Mergers & Acquisitions is designed to help investors and acquirors as they navigate the unique set of challenges, including the critical legal issues, associated with distressed situations.  The guide covers topics ranging from acquisition of distressed debt claims and assets to strategies for obtaining control of troubled companies either in chapter 11 or out of court.

This guide and related resources are posted in our “Distressed Targets” Practice Area.
