In this episode of Debtwired! Jayme Goldstein, co-chair of Paul Hastings financial restructuring group, and Tyler Cowan, global head of restructuring and liability management at Lazard, join Debtwire co-managing editor, Madalina Iacob, to discuss how the restructuring landscape has evolved over the past decade and what’s shaping the next wave of restructurings. Expect more in-court processes in 2026 with lenders willing to “take the keys” as tight documents hinder further LMEs. The podcast explores the rise of cooperation agreements as a critical tool for creditors, and the surprising wave of non-sponsor private company bankruptcies, including First Brands and Pine Gate Renewables.
