Nov 14, 02:52 PM

In this fourth instalment of the IBA Insolvency Section’s podcast series, Brett Axelrod, Managing Partner of Fox Rothschild’s Las Vegas office and past Co-Chair of the firm’s nationwide Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy Department, along with Brittany Michael, Senior Counsel at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones specialising in the representation of tort creditors’ committees, discuss the seminal US Supreme Court judgment of In re Purdue Pharma LP with Huan Tan, a partner at Benvalor and Co-Chair of the IBA Insolvency Section. 

Members of the Sackler family – none of whom have been involved with Purdue Pharma since 2019 – deny any wrongdoing. Following the Supreme Court ruling they noted in a statement that they ‘remain hopeful about reaching a resolution that provides substantial resources to help combat a complex public health crisis’.
