Insight from the Heart of the Northern Rock Restructuring: Where is the Market Headed?

Simon Davies, Managing Director of the Restructuring and Reorganisation Group at Blackstone Advisory Partners discusses European distressed debt. Has Europe the same issues as the ‘maturity wall’ in the US and how might this affect the restructuring business in the next few years? Is a move to better standardise the bankruptcy process in Europe likely and will that open the market to more willing capital? Is the distressed debt market as crowded in Europe as it is in the US and what are the important differences between the two markets. What was it like to be at the heart of the Northern Rock restructuring? And how is the restructuring and reorganisation market likely to develop over the next few years? If you would like to hear answers to these questions and more, listen to this podcast. Simon will be speaking at the IQPC European Investing in Distressed Debt Forum from 26th-27th October in London.
