What the Pros Say (3/19/17)

  • Professional Compensation. Whereas we would typically demerit a firm for reviewing a "recent" case from 4 months ago, we'll pass here for two reasons: 1) this DLP Piper LLP summary by Richard Chesley, Rachel Albanese and Adam Lanza is solid; and 2) there's no ridiculous attempt here to shield the bankers from a decision that ultimately came down in their favor. Sidebar: speaking of fees, SunEdison was in the spotlight this week and these fees are in bleacher seat territory.
  • Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Anyone interested in understanding the shenanigans taking place in iHeartMedia or J.Crew ought to read this strong coverage of the use of covenants to restructure their capital structure by Chapman & Cutler LLP's Michael Friedman, Simone Tatsch, and Nicholas Whitney.
