Private Equity in Chapter 11 Cases with TMA Florida

Elena Paras Ketchum and Matthew Hale Present on “Private Equity in Chapter 11 Cases: From DIP Financing to Chapter 11 Plan” at the 2026 TMA Florida’s Annual Conference.

On March 3, 2026, Elena Paras Ketchum and Matthew Hale, both shareholders of the firm, participated in a panel discussion titled “Private Equity in Chapter 11 Cases: From DIP Financing to Chapter 11 Plan” at the Annual Conference of TMA Florida. The program brought together restructuring professionals to examine the increasingly significant role private equity firms play in Chapter 11 proceedings. The panel explored how private equity investors are shaping restructuring outcomes at multiple stages of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case—from providing debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing to serving as plan sponsors or strategic purchasers in sale transactions. They were joined in their presentation by Noel Boeke, Esquire and Andrew Layden, Esquire. Elena and Matt regularly advise clients in complex restructuring and bankruptcy matters, including Chapter 11 proceedings, distressed transactions, and related litigation.
