    What Rescheduling Could Mean For Cannabis Bankruptcies
    2024-03-27

    More than 75% of the U.S. population lives in states that have legalized cannabis for adult and/or medical use.

    Pursuant to a 2022 directive from President Joe Biden, a 2023 recommendation of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a scientific review released in January supporting the HHS's recommendation, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is now evaluating whether to reclassify cannabis as a Schedule III drug.

    Dry powder or powder keg? Investing in companies sponsoring defined benefit pension schemes
    2024-06-18

    The market is experiencing almost unprecedented levels of liquidity, across public and private debt and equity capital markets. This is staunching restructuring activity, which might otherwise be expected to rise (not least as pandemic-related government support starts to withdraw). There are also many companies still sponsoring defined benefit pension schemes. The statutory and regulatory landscape in this area has evolved significantly in recent months – with new powers for regulators, and new restructuring tools for debtors.
