Gregory Pessin, John Sobolewski, Emily Johnson and Joel S. recently authored the Trends and Developments section in the 2024 edition of Chambers and Partners Global Debt Finance Practice Guide. In their chapter, they observe that following an uneven year of deal activity in 2023, the US financing markets – across both syndicated and leveraged loans, as well as both investment grade and high-yield bonds – are, generally speaking, the most bullish they have been in two years (or more). They also call out the following as notable evolving trends: • 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲: 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴    • 𝗟𝗼𝘄-𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱: 𝗔𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗺    • 𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿    • 𝗟𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 Click to read more about these and other new developments in the financing markets to watch for in 2024: https://lnkd.in/gaZJtXjV

Click here to view the official post-race recap: https://lnkd.in/ehbK_vGV "We're a small firm, but a big family, and this night gives us the chance to come together around something other than our work. It's something we all circle on our calendars each spring...(At the Corporate Challenge) we're all on one team and having a great time together, and the memories made here will follow us back to the office." #WachtellLipton #JPMCC

The Sedona Conference and its Working Group 1 on Electronic Document Retention and Production are extremely pleased to announce publication of the final, post-public-comment version of the Commentary on Privilege Logs. This challenging undertaking began with the formation of a brainstorming group in August 2020 and a drafting team a year later. After more than three years of dialoguing, drafting, refining, and redrafting, involving more than two dozen WG1 members, we are proud to present this consensus-driven Commentary that offers tools and strategies for both responding and requesting parties to mitigate the considerable burdens and competing interests that can be associated with privilege logs. We tip our hats to Adam Gajadharsingh and Meghan Podolny for their tireless efforts as team leaders since the project's inception. We also salute drafting team members Toni Baker, Travis Bustamante, MaryBeth V. Gibson, Nathaniel C. Giddings, Jennifer Scullion, Tom Vanaskie, Margot Want; Steering Committee liaisons Rebekah Bailey, Andrea D'Ambra, Tessa K. Jacob, Sandra Metallo-Barragan, Claudia Morgan; the 14 contributors to the initial brainstorming group; and all our members who provided feedback and suggestions throughout the drafting process. The Commentary is available to all from the Sedona Conference website. Download your free copy here: https://bit.ly/3uCywsD.
