Of the Awards, New Generation Research founder George Putnam says, "Given the US business environment today, with its backdrop of unprecedented levels of corporate debt (now approaching 800 Trillion USD), it's arguably more important than ever to take the measure of the firms that participate in the bankruptcy and restructuring industry."
Of this year's crop of finalists, NGR Chief Operations Officer Ben Schlafman notes, "There are new names at the top of our league tables this year. While a general sense is building that there is a lot of restructuring business just around the corner, it remains a competitive market. And no one can rest on their laurels. We congratulate these finalists for their excellent work in 2018, and we look forward to announcing the winners at the ABI Annual Spring Meeting."
