Description

Real estate bankruptcies are on the increase globally. This interactive session jointly moderated by the Real Estate Section and Insolvency Section will consider the current approach to Real Estate projects in financial difficulty. 
 
Questions to be discussed will include: 
 
• What provisions should be included in real estate development agreements to best protect parties (lenders/developers/landlords/tenants) from the impact of financial distress?
• When a developer, landlord or tenant is threatened with imminent insolvency what restructuring steps can be taken to preserve the value of the development and ensure its completion?
• Once a developer, landlord or tenant enters into an insolvency process what rights do counterparties to the agreement and other creditors have and how are these enforced?
