Seward & Kissel Launches Corporate Restructuring & Bankruptcy Blog “Back in (the) Black”

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, national law firm Seward & Kissel LLP announced the launch of a new blog focused on timely corporate restructuring and bankruptcy news. Dubbed “Back in (the) Black,” the blog will provide analysis of the most significant developments in the restructuring and bankruptcy space, forward looking conversations on key trends, and insight into notable engagements led by the firm.

“We’re excited to launch Back in (the) Black, which will help key players in the bankruptcy space – including lenders, debtors, creditors, and others – stay on top of relevant trends and developments,” said Robert J. Gayda, a partner in Seward & Kissel’s Corporate Restructuring & Bankruptcy Group and contributor to the blog. “Our group’s experience representing key stakeholders in transactional, litigation, and corporate governance matters related to restructurings positions us well to provide these insights.”

Back in (the) Black will be authored primarily by lawyers in Seward & Kissel’s Corporate Restructuring & Bankruptcy Group, which has been at the forefront of some of the largest and most complex in-court and out-of-court restructurings, both domestically and internationally.

Recent blog posts feature topics including a legal strategy known as the “Texas Two-Step” for companies facing mass tort liabilities, and recent litigation involving Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, which is rarely litigated. The posts provide overviews of the laws, present case studies, and discuss legal strategies. Back in (the) Black will publish similar content on a frequent basis, and will also feature interviews with key industry players and other relevant content.
