ABOUT THE BLOG
Economic, market and political events shape the legal landscape and impact loan and credit markets, each time moving us closer or farther away from a cycle’s end, a crisis’ beginning or the next boom. From the perspective of lawyers and other professionals who have lived through past cycles, the Credit Chronometer™ is dedicated to analyzing the effects of these events on future performance and participants’ legal exposure.
