The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the operations of companies across various industries and their ability to service their debt and continue paying suppliers. Aviation, tourism and entertainment were the first industries to immediately suffer the consequences of social distancing and reduced demand and revenues, but other industries are bound to soon follow. Like other crises, the COVID-19-related drop in demand has resulted and will continue to condition in complex debt restructurings and opportunities to acquire strategic assets at discount prices. Our panel of prominent Brazilian-American legal and financial leaders will discuss how the lessons learned from successful and failed restructurings and distressed M&A transactions from the past can pave the way for U.S. and other foreign investors to properly protect their exposure to Brazilian companies in distress. The panel will also discuss how to capitalize on opportunities to make significant profits from a company’s turnaround .

Sula -- Mitch McConnell continues to play politics by holding up coronavirus relief legislation which includes funding to protect our elections before November.
McConnell's motive? Undermining our elections this year is the first step to putting conservative map manipulators in charge of the redistricting process next year. He should care about the democratic right to vote, but it seems he only cares about holding onto power.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knows this. And has said that she will not let McConnell continue to avoid passing legislation to protect our elections and the livelihood of millions of Americans during this pandemic.
Speaker Pelosi has shown time and time again that she'll keep her promise. And now, she's refusing to cave on key provisions of coronavirus relief legislation including commonsense funding to make voting safe and accessible amidst a pandemic.
Let her know you appreciate that she's not backing down from McConnell and that you have her back as she continues to fight to expand access to safe voting. McConnell doesn't care if less people vote, as long he can maintain conservative power. Securing a fair, safe, and accessible vote in November may be a key first step to achieving fair maps in 2021 -- but it's also the right thing to do.

Ecommerce has been a bright spot among retail channels during the coronavirus, as consumers became reliant on digital transactions amid physical store closures and fear of infection. However, the impact on ecommerce retail spending has not been felt evenly across the world.
Asia-Pacific and North America have led the regional totals for both brick-and-mortar and ecommerce sales, followed by Western Europe. Due in part to China's dominance, Asia-Pacific has gained a significant lead in ecommerce with 62.6% share, over North America and Western Europe, who are expected to have shares of 19.1% and 12.7%, respectively.
While some regions experienced tremendous growth in certain sectors of retail, we have adjusted our ecommerce estimates down to $3.914 trillion, as the deceleration of global retail in 2020 has surely impacted overall global retail sales.
