Bankruptcy Institute’s Investment Banking Committee will hold the
Second Complex Financial Restructuring Program at the Wynn Las Vegas,
Sept. 7-8, 2006. The program, to be held in conjunction with ABI’s

understanding the role of investment bankers and financial advisors in
insolvency and restructuring contexts. A case study will illustrate the

they examine strategic alternatives and seek the highest value for an
insolvent company. Leaders in the industry will play the roles of the
major constituents as they work through the case study in this day-long
program, which will offer 7.75 CLE credits.
