Ergen’s bluff on the river??

Our take:

?Ergen has been playing “4D chess” ever since Hughes’ parent company, EchoStar, began facing distress several years ago. In the process of preserving Echostar, Hughes appears to have been significantly stripped of value: a billion-dollar dividend to EchoStar effectively drained nearly all cash at Hughes, while egregious above-market leases puts further strain on Hughes creditors. 


The question now: do creditors run for the hills ahead of an inevitable bankruptcy filing—or call Ergen’s bluff, even if it risks disrupting asset sales at EchoStar?


Or, is Ergen already three moves ahead, preparing a coercive exchange to buy more time?


Only time will tell… and Ergen is running out of it.

Our Take:

The Daily Cost of BK Legal fees Are Increasing.

Are we shocked? No.

We took a deep dive to see what is driving up the daily cost of restructurings and the culprit: Increasing Legal Hourly Rates. We analyzed final fee apps for top debtor law firms from 2018 to 2024 and found average hourly legal fees have increased by over 65% since 2018. Maybe a little bit of sunlight is the right disinfectant to help remedy the problem….
