Sovereign Debt Round Table

The Sovereign Debt Round Table is an interactive webinar organized by the New York City Bar Association, focusing on the evolving landscape of UK and New York sovereign debt laws. This event provides a platform for legal professionals, investors, and policymakers to engage in candid discussions under the Chatham House Rule, ensuring open and confidential dialogue.

Key topics include an overview of pending legislative proposals aimed at capping creditor recoveries from financially distressed sovereign debtors, the potential global impact of such legislation, and the associated risks to investors, such as increased borrowing costs and legal uncertainties. The session also offers expert insights into the practical and legal challenges posed by these developments and their broader economic implications.

Attendees will have the opportunity to interact directly with esteemed panelists, including Thomas Laryea of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP; Samy Muaddi, Head of Emerging Markets Fixed Income at T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.; and Richard Cooper of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP. The discussion will be moderated by Lorraine McGowen of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.

This event is particularly beneficial for legal practitioners specializing in sovereign debt, investors dealing with emerging markets, and policymakers involved in financial legislation. Participants will gain valuable insights into the current and future state of sovereign debt laws and their implications for global financial markets.
