Solving the "Too Big to Fail" Problem: Resolution Authority vs. Chapter 14

Financial Services & E-Commerce Practice Group Teleforum

With the passage of Dodd-Frank, Congress and the administration are proudly announcing the end of "Too Big To Fail." But has it really ended? Will the Dodd-Frank tools work in a crisis? Would a revised bankruptcy code actually work better, providing more transparency and greater certainty to creditors? And is the rest of the world only paying lip service to the concept as we watch the Europeans bail out their banks without the slightest degree of hesitation? These and other questions will be addressed by our panel of experts. Featuring Mr. Randall D. Guynn of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP; Mr. David J. Schraa of the Institute of International Finance; Prof. David A. Skeel of the University of Pennsylvania Law School; and Mr. John L. Douglas of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP as the moderator.
