One Step Ahead Poland: Restructuring, lender control, and competition law risk

Episode 1: When a lender takes control of a borrower in a restructuring, competition law is rarely the first issue on the agenda. But should it be?   At what point does exercising control in a restructuring scenario create legal exposure under competition rules? And what do legal advisers and in-house counsel need to understand before any restructuring crosses the threshold?  Agnieszka Kolasińska-Czerwińska and Ewa Tkaczuk from A&O Shearman examine the intersection of restructuring law and competition law, drawing on a recent seminar they delivered on the topic. Their discussion is detailed, practical, and focused on the scenarios where assumptions about lender control can create costly legal risk.  Note: This episode is conducted in Polish  One Step Ahead is an extension of A&O Shearman's long-running seminar series of the same name.
