Doug Gooding will speak at the Association of Insolvency & Restructuring Advisors’ 42nd Annual Bankruptcy and Restructuring Conference (BRC26) on Friday, June 5, from 9:35 – 10:35 AM in Nashville, Tennessee, where he will join fellow practitioners for the “Mass Torts: Where We’ve Been, Where We Are and Where We’re Going” panel discussion. Mass torts have become one of the most consequential and rapidly developing areas at the crossroads of civil litigation and corporate insolvency. The session will explore the evolving landscape of mass tort litigation and its intersection with bankruptcy and restructuring, tracing the arc from landmark historical cases through today’s complex proceedings, and examining emerging trends likely to shape the field in the years ahead. With more than 25 years of experience in finance and restructuring transactions, Doug specializes in advising troubled companies across industries and has significant experience representing insurance providers in mass tort bankruptcy cases. He also advises clients on debtor-in-possession lending and represents holders of senior, second-lien, and mezzanine debt in complex restructurings. Doug is a Fellow of the American College of Bankruptcy, and has received repeated recognition from Chambers USA, The Legal 500, LawDragon 500, and others. LEARN MORE
