Restructuring

By now, you’ve come to know the Weil Bankruptcy Blog as “the” source for cutting-edge analyses of all things restructuring.  But did you know that Weil, Gotshal & Manges also publishes other blogs?  Indeed, our colleagues regularly probe critical issues in other areas of the law.  Today, we want to take the opportunity to highlight these blogs, which we hope will bring you insight, enlightenment, and entertainment.  Given that restructuring intersects with so many areas of law, we’ve found these blogs to be particularly instructive – we hope you feel the same way. 
Weil European Restructuring Watch: You may be familiar with the blog that our overseas colleagues maintain, which discusses developments in restructuring law and in distressed marketplaces throughout Europe.  Led by our London group, the Weil European Restructuring Watch has also published Weil’s Comparative Guide to Restructuring Procedures and a guide to Schemes of Arrangement as Restructuring Tools.  Recent posts have discussed bank regulations and directives, “hot topics” in schemes of arrangement, and recent developments in sovereign debt restructuring.

Fun Fact: A recent search revealed no mention of the Queen in any posts on the Weil European Restructuring Watch.

Product Liability Monitor: The Product Liability Monitor is published by attorneys in Weil’s Product Liability practice to discuss key trends, developments, and events that shape the product liability legal landscape.  It posts rapid updates on key developments in all things product liability, including same-day analysis of closely-watched court decisions.  Just this week, the “Monitor” needed just a few hours to post a review of the Supreme Court’s decisions in United States v. Wong and United States v. June.  Highlights include in-depth analyses of matters relating to “fracking,” expert testimony and Daubert, and the cost of compliance with the Clean Air Act.
