Christopher Clement, Kelly Gelfand Egers and Daksha Bhatia Publish “How Lenders And Borrowers Can Prepare For Libor's End” in Law360
Date: 03/16/23
The publication of the U.S. dollar London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, also known as Libor, is currently scheduled to end on June 30. For over 50 years, Libor has served as a benchmark for setting interest rates for floating rate loans and debt instruments around the world.
