In February 2026, Tom Howard, Lazard's Co-Head of European Debt Advisory and Capital Solutions, and Sam Whittaker, Co-Head of European Restructuring and Liability Management, were guests on an episode of Bloomberg Intelligence's Credit Crunch, part of the FICC Focus podcast series.
During the episode, Tom discusses the growing role of capital solutions in European financing, the structure and depth of the European private credit market for complex situations, and how borrower discussions are evolving as financing structures become more complex and more hybrid.
Sam discusses the sector-based drivers within today's European restructuring landscape, the differences between the U.S. and European restructurings, the impact of liability management exercises, and the blurring of lines between restructurings and other financing tools.
