9th Annual ABI Corporate Restructuring Competition

Competition Details

Introduction

Welcome to the American Bankruptcy Institute Corporate Restructuring Competition. This competition provides students from leading business schools an opportunity to solve a hypothetical realistic business case of a distressed company, before an audience of experts in the turnaround/crisis management/restructuring industries.

In addition to the case presentations, there is a sponsored networking cocktail reception and a dinner with keynote remarks by Judge Thomas Ambro (3rd Circuit).

The interaction between student teams and industry professionals contributes to student development and to the professionalism of turnaround/crisis management.

Those who enter receive the case vehicle/problem by electronic mail one (1) week before the competition.
