For financial institutions, investors, and other buyers and sellers of financial assets, executing trades has become a routine exercise. However, even straightforward transactions can be fraught with potential risk.

In this webinar, our team will offer exclusive insights for navigating these scenarios, and present on key practices that can save endless headaches. Hear from Paul B. Haskel, Co-Chair of Crowell’s Financial Services Group and thought leader on all aspects of trading distressed assets.

Together, the team will examine the most common mistakes, legal risks, and industry norms that can turn even the most successful investment into a problematic broken trade.
