Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

German restructurings: Kirkland's Christian Halasz on StaRUG's evolution
Q: How does the UK's restructuring framework interact with StaRUG in cross-border cases?
UK schemes and schemes of arrangement continue to be used, but recent recognition issues in Germany have pushed practitioners to carefully tailor cross-border strategies, often favoring English procedures in conjunction with StaRUG under appropriate circumstances.
German restructurings: Kirkland's Christian Halasz on StaRUG's evolution
Q: What were the pivotal cases that shifted perception of StaRUG?
Leoni and Baywatch were particularly influential, showing cross-class cram downs and the handling of holdouts, while EMAC and Grover established that this route can proceed even with shareholder objections.
German restructurings: Kirkland's Christian Halasz on StaRUG's evolution
Q: Is StaRUG now a real credible restructuring option for distressed German debtors?
Yes, over the past few years its use has grown from niche, small cases to a reliable tool, especially after high-profile cases demonstrated its viability and efficiency in handling complex restructurings.
Gaming outlook for 2026 and beyond
Q: How did you get involved in gaming?
I started in Houlihan Lokey's restructuring group in 2007, during a time of rapid gaming expansion and later a wave of distress that shaped my focus on gaming deals and restructurings across the country.
Inside middle-market direct lending with PGIM's Matthew Harvey
Q: What role do banks play in comparison to direct lenders in mid-market capital structures?
Banks remain essential for short-term working capital and related services, but direct lenders offer longer-horizon, capital-intensive solutions, cross-border financing, and flexibility that banks cannot easily provide, making the relationship complementary rather than adversarial.
