Last week, our partner Arnaud Lambert participated in an insightful webinar on #restructuring valuations. Organised by Droit & Croissance / Rules For Growth Institute, Reorg, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, the webinar delved into the similarities and differences between European and US restructuring valuation practices, with panellists discussing the complexity and importance of such valuations particularly in light of the recent European Directive 2019/1023 and 40 years’ experience of Chapter 11 in the US. Arnaud elaborated on the recent Orpea and Casino cases, illustrating with practical examples how the French insolvency proceedings system is effectively able to deal with large groups experiencing financial difficulty through a combination of conciliation procedure (confidential negotiations between the main stakeholders) with the transposed European Directive (offering the possibility of a cross-class cram-down since 1 November 2021 subject to a best-interest-of-creditors test).
