Finding an edge in an increasingly competitive market requires agile decision-making. A knowledge of your industry. The right tools to solve thorny bankruptcy and restructuring problems. And, of course, a seasoned team when you need help.

Our job is to create solutions for our clients and keep watch for what may be coming down the pike. In an area of the law that fluctuates according to economic cycles, you can look for answers from lawyers who have seen it all.

We’ve been there. For 30 years, the lawyers in the Business Reorganization and Financial Restructuring Practice Group at Duane Morris have brought clients together to share perspectives and wisdom from the field. Recently, we joined forces with our colleagues at Berkeley Research Group and Onyx Equities, LLC to distill and discuss major trends from the past year.

What we learned is this: The tools of the trade are both traditional and innovative. Keep them close and ready.

We hope this fifth edition of our Optimize series empowers you to explore new tactics and feel more confident about handling what lies ahead.
