Things must have slowed down as a lot of professionals are putting pen to paper...

• Dead Malls. FTI Consulting provides an analysis.  
• Deathtraps. Proskauer LLP's Daniel Desatnik discusses "death traps" as a tool in restructurings.
• Default Interest. Troutman Sanders LLP's Penelope Parmes, Matthew Brooks and Meghan Wells discuss a recent Ninth Circuit decision.
• Distressed Oil & Gas. Haynes & Boone LLP's Charles Beckham and Opportune LLP's Ryan Bouley discuss distressed debt and oil and gas bankruptcy. 
• Election. Oaktree Capital Management's Howard Marks follows up on his pre-election letter with these insights.
• Jevic. Rebecca Hollander of Cole Schotz LLP discusses the upcoming Supreme Court hearing.
• LLC Blockers. Nancy Peterman of Greenberg Traurig LLP discusses blocking rights in LLC operating agreements. 
• Make-Whole Analysis. Bracewell's Evan Flashen, David Lawton and Mark Dendinger review the Third Circuit's reversing opinion. As do Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP's Adam Harris, Lawrence Gelber, Michael Cook, and Lucy Kweskin here.
• Retail and Consumer Products. FTI Consulting released its 2016 Holiday Retail Report.
• Shipping. Bracewell's Evan Flaschen and Mark Dendinger are prolific this week, also addressing the increasingly distressed shipping space. Seward & Kissel LLP's John Ashmead, Michael Timpone, and Robert Gayda also address the distressed shipping space - highly relevant in light of this week's crazy drybulk shipper movements (see Dryships).
