The Art of the Pre-Pack

‘Pre-packs’ are a hot topic in the world of restructuring and insolvency – wherever you are. But – until now – there hasn’t been a thematic overview that sets out the essentials of different jurisdictions while also drawing out what they have in common. This guide changes that.

The Art of the Pre-Pack draws on the wisdom of 18 pre-eminent practitioners from various key markets to provide the first structured overview of the art of completing a pre-pack deal, using overviews, country chapters and case studies. It is a companion volume to Global Restructuring Review’s The Art of the Ad Hoc, which provides comprehensive instruction on how to work successfully with the ad hoc committees.
