ACC ChicagoJoin us for an engaging program that equips legal professionals with the insights and tools to face the complexities that arise in “ordinary course” distress, with a focus on current market and global dynamics.
In today's dynamic business environment, legal professionals play a pivotal role in helping organizations navigate the operational and financial pressures that emerge as part of everyday business. Whether facing supply chain disruptions, inflationary trends, regulatory uncertainty, or geopolitical instability, companies must rely on strategic legal guidance to respond effectively and maintain resilience.

• Cross-jurisdictional challenges: Exploring how inconsistent legal frameworks across jurisdictions impact decision-making and risk exposure.
• Operational resilience strategies: Identifying practical approaches to restructuring operations, managing liquidity, and maintaining business continuity.
