The LIBOR Transition: Why LIBOR May Be Going Away & What to Expect

January 15, 2020

Overview

Like Y2K, but for real… or a whole lot of nothing? Orrick partners Howard Altarescu and Nikiforos Mathews, along with Joyce Frost of Riverside Risk Advisors, discuss the recent history of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and why the markets are transitioning away from using LIBOR for their financial instruments. They also debate whether or not LIBOR will continue to exist after 2021 – an especially important consideration for legacy loans.
