Business Reorganization

This panel will offer a unique take on Chapter 11 issues. Join our panelists as they walk through hot topics and other thorny territory in the Chapter 11 landscape.

The panel will briefly address the historical use of cannabis in America for medicinal purposes and the subsequent criminalization of cannabis, which was racially motivated. The panel will then discuss the challenges faced by corporate entities that seek to obtain bankruptcy protection when at least a portion of their income is derived from the sale or cultivation of cannabis, the lease of space to cannabis companies, or the sale or manufacture of products used in connection with a cannabis business. The panel also will discuss the nonbankruptcy options for these entities, as well as the financial hurdles faced by such entities. Finally, a representative from a community bank in Maryland will discuss the services that her bank is able to provide to cannabis dispensaries.

How are lenders, borrowers and vested parties adapting to a rapidly changing environment? Are lenders and other creditors becoming more or less aggressive as business plans and borrowing bases are indefinitely affected by the suppressed commercial activity from the coronavirus? The panelists explore these issues and more.

Join experts in the health care insolvency field as they discuss a host of issues looming for the industry due to the fallout from the ongoing pandemic, factoring in the current landscape for providers, Polsinelli's Distressed Health Care Index, and the sectors that have been most affected thus far and in what ways. As the country begins to reopen, what might the "new normal" for providers look like, and how long is it likely to last? How might the financial and operational performance of companies be altered, and what legal strategies can be employed to ensure viability? How will all of the above impact lenders, landlords, and vendors, and how are the CMS advances provided by the government different from other sources of relief? Finally, how are health care businesses preparing for the next COVID-19 cycle in light of the virus's likely resurgence in the fall, and can we expect a second wave of shutdowns? Hear about these matters and more as the industry braces for change in the coming months.
