What is the best approach for handling business distress?
Businesses can stumble for many reasons. For design platform Figma, regulatory scrutiny scuttled a deal for the start-up to be acquired by Adobe. The company is working towards a different future now. For some businesses, the best strategy can be litigation. U.S. Foods recently won a judgment close to $12 million dollars against Boston Markets for the latter’s failure to pay invoices. Walmart and Post Consumer Brands are being sued by Snoop Dog and Master P. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants deliberately kept Snoop Cereal off the shelves.
