The current economic crisis has taken its toll on companies that were once considered pillars of American industry, with the bankruptcies of Chrysler and General Motors. American factories and industrial centers continue to close their doors. The US Government has now become a major stakeholder in both the banking and industrial sectors. Is there a future for industry in the United States? As businesses go through the restructuring process, what will American industry look like in the end? What potential gains will there be for professionals and investors in the process? Whether you are a seasoned industry or restructuring professional or new to the field entirely, please join our distinguished panel of investment and legal professionals who will share insight into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

We are pleased that this panel will feature Kramer Levin partner Robert Schmidt, who recently represented the Official Creditors’ Committees in both the GM and Chrysler bankruptcies.
