30th Annual LSEG LPC Middle Market & Large Corporate Loans Conference
Kirkland is a proud sponsor of the 30th Annual LSEG LPC Middle Market & Large Corporate Loans Conference taking place in New York on November 7, 2024. Partner Brian Ford will moderate the panel “Private Equity Perspective: Financing Challenges and Opportunities.”
The panel will discuss:
- What are the key challenges sponsor-backed borrowers are facing in the current macro environment? How have private equity firms best positioned their portfolio companies to minimize the impact of macro factors in the current downturn?
- How do you analyze financing opportunities in this high interest rate environment? How do you think about deal structures — bank v. bond v. private credit? In addition to price, what are key factors you consider when selecting a financing source?
- How has the renewed competition between the syndicated and private credit markets affected economics, structures and documentary terms?
- How receptive have direct lenders been to the new macro environment and pressure to portco’s models?
- Where do you see deal flow going in the next 6-12 months? What key themes are you watching in Q4 and into next year? What challenges and opportunities do you see ahead?
