DISTRESSED COMPANIES: ALTERNATIVES TO BANKRUPTCY

Panel Discussion & Reception

Join TMA Northeast and the TMA Maine Committee in Portsmouth, NH for an evening focused on one of the most important questions facing distressed companies: What alternatives exist when Chapter 11 isn’t the only—or preferred—path forward?

Our panel will examine the range of restructuring and turnaround options available to distressed small and mid-market companies, including how to evaluate strategic alternatives, preserve enterprise value and approach challenging situations with creativity.

 

Panelists:

Drawing on real-world experiences, the panelists will discuss potential solutions for professionals navigating the complex world of insolvency and distressed situations.

 

Following the discussion, join us for a networking reception and connect with turnaround, restructuring, legal, financial and advisory professionals from across the region.

 

Portsmouth is our meeting point—and this is a great opportunity to bring the TMA Northeast community together.
