From Flights to FTX: A 2023 Economic and Legal Forecast

This presentation will bring together a panel of experts to discuss the 2023 economic forecast and legal issues related to the economic climate. The panel will examine these issues through the lens of two real-world examples. Part of the discussion will focus on the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, including its Chapter 11 case, legal claims against founder Sam Bankman-Fried for fraud and embezzlement, the role of the Bahamian government, and the likely regulatory reaction. Closer to home, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the world’s fifth busiest airport, will offer a case study in managing contractual relationships with parties, such as airlines, that face labor shortages and increased operating costs in a competitive market.
