Hostile Restructurings, Diane L. Dick
Hostile Restructurings, Diane L. Dick
Washington Law Review
The conventional wisdom holds that out-of-court loan restructurings are mostly consensual and collaborative. But this is no longer accurate. Highly aggressive, nonconsensual restructuring transactions—what I call “hostile restructurings”—are becoming a common feature of the capital markets. Relying on hypertechnical interpretations of loan agreements, one increasingly popular hostile restructuring method involves issuing new debt that enjoys higher priority than the existing debt; another involves transferring the most valuable collateral away from existing lenders to secure new borrowing.

Fraudulent Transfers: Void And Voidable, David G. Carlson
Articles
This Article explores the civil procedure attendant to private fraudulent transfer litigation (primarily outside the context of bankruptcy).
