Ice Miller partner Chris Bordoni will be moderating a panel discussion titled "Due Diligence Red Flags — What Experienced Lenders Are Watching Now" at Opus Connect's NYC Private Debt Conference. The firm is also a sponsor of the event.

Program Description:

In today’s evolving credit landscape, traditional due diligence is no longer enough. With rising market volatility, regulatory scrutiny, and increasingly complex borrower structures, seasoned lenders are sharpening their focus on critical red flags that can derail deals or erode returns. This panel will explore the latest shifts in diligence priorities — from financial quality of earnings to cybersecurity exposure, AI-related risks, legal compliance, and macroeconomic pitfalls. Panelists will share the most telling indicators of hidden risk, how diligence practices are adapting post-2023, and what savvy lenders are doing to protect themselves before term sheets are signed.
