## Resource

With commercial and consumer bankruptcy filings rising and the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) reshaping the fiscal landscape, 2026 demands a new strategic playbook. This session explores the sustained increase in insolvencies, driven by "slow-burn" financial strain, depleted savings, and pandemic-era debt. We will dive into the key tax implications of the OBBBA, along with top legal trends and emerging risks to watch in 2026. The Taxation Law Section is chaired by Philipp Behrendt . The Bankruptcy Law Section is chaired by Cole Nicholas .
