  1. How to Protect Your Business from a Counterparty's Financial Crisis

    Apr 21

    How to Protect Your Business from a Counterparty's Financial Crisis

    What General Counsel and Business Leaders Need to Know Early Action Is Everything: Whether you're owed money or need a supplier to survive, proactive conversations with legal and financial advisors dramatically expand your options before problems become crises. Know Your Toolkit: From security interests and guarantees to debtor-in-possession financing and critical vendor programs, knowing which tools apply and when depends entirely on whether a distressed party is pre-bankruptcy or already in a proceeding. Legal Strategy Can Only Take You So Far: Deciding whether to keep doing business, renegotiate terms, extend credit, or walk away entirely comes down to business judgment and open communication with your counterparty—no legal strategy can replace either. In this episode of Speaking of Litigation, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Ryan Cochran, Wendy Marcari, and Bob Mendes discuss strategies healthy companies can implement when they find themselves doing business with a financially distressed or insolvent partner—whether that's a slow-paying customer, a critical supplier, or a struggling tenant. - Visit our site for related resources and email contact information: https://www.ebglaw.com/split23.

    Mar 24

    State AGs in Action: Health Care Enforcement in 2026

    Key Takeaways: State Attorneys General (AGs) Are Stepping Up: With reduced federal enforcement staffing, state AGs are expanding their budgets, hiring former federal prosecutors, and taking the lead in health care fraud investigations. Medicaid Takes Center Stage: As federal enforcement focuses on Medicare, state Medicaid Fraud Control Units are prioritizing Medicaid fraud, creating a shift in enforcement focus and risk profiles for health care companies. Proactive Compliance Is Critical: Companies must prioritize internal complaint management, monitor their external reputation, and engage experienced local counsel to navigate the complexities of state and federal enforcement. In this episode of Speaking of Litigation, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Zachary Taylor, Sarah Hall, and Jeremy Avila discuss the implications for general counsel regarding the expansion of state-level health care enforcement and explore how companies can proactively manage risk in this evolving environment.
