Uncover the hidden risks of private credit by examining real-world defaults, distressed debt, and the high-profile fraud cases threatening today's investors.
The private credit market has expanded rapidly in an era of prolonged low interest rates and abundant liquidity—but that growth is now being tested. As conditions tighten, practitioners are increasingly confronting borrower distress, investor losses, complex restructurings, and, in some cases, allegations of fraud and criminal misconduct.
This timely CLE webinar provides a practical, end-to-end examination of the private credit landscape, from its origins in “cheap and easy” capital to the current regulatory environment and emerging enforcement trends. The session explores how deals are structured, who the key players are, and which industries are most exposed to risk. It then turns to real-world consequences—loan defaults, bankruptcies, investor disputes, and criminal investigations—equipping attorneys with the insight needed to identify issues early and respond effectively.
Designed for litigators, transactional lawyers, and regulatory practitioners alike, this program bridges finance, insolvency, and white-collar risk, offering actionable guidance for advising clients in a more volatile credit environment.
