In this webinar, panel members addressed:

• Common pitfalls in managing credit and legal risk in the upstream sector
• Problems that can arise in connection with secured hedging facilities
• Reserve Based Lending issues 
• Preparing for a counterparty filing
• Ground zero: the first few days of a bankruptcy. What do I do?
