Creditor Rights Coalition and Its Mission

The Creditor Rights Coalition, founded in 2021, aims to advocate for creditor rights and strengthen engagement within the buy side of the financial industry. This initiative arose from a collective desire to unify advocacy efforts that were often fragmented within the buy-side community. The coalition focuses on ensuring fairness and transparency in financial transactions, particularly in the context of bankruptcy and restructuring, while also providing educational opportunities for its members and students. An example of their impact is seen in their response to the CERTA case, where they effectively supported a legal interpretation that respected creditor rights.
