TMA NYC Webinar: Pitfalls and Best Practices for Lenders Who Become Owners


Online Event (Details will be sent prior to event)  
Tuesday, November 10, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM   iCalendar Eastern Standard Time

You Got the Keys. Now What? Equity control is a legal outcome. Ownership is a skill set — and it's not one most lenders have had reason to build. When creditors take the keys to a restructured company, governance rights and board seats are the easy part. The harder shift is behavioral: from downside protection to enterprise-value creation, from passive oversight to actively driving a plan. Our panel unpacks the gap between lender DNA and owner DNA, and the concrete moves that separate creditors who preserve value from those who erode it.
