Offshore insolvency and restructuring – International Corporate Rescue special issue

Offshore insolvency and restructuring are dynamic, ever-changing areas of practice, and our articles, drawn directly from the work our teams are doing with clients across the leading offshore financial centres, reflect that landscape.

The special issue covers a broad range of topics, including the Privy Council's decision in Sian Participation Corp v Halimeda International Ltd  and its divergence from Hong Kong's approach to arbitration contracts in an insolvency context, which features prominently, as does our analysis of the cross-border implications of the recent Hyalroute  decision.

Further articles address the restructuring officer and provisional liquidator regimes in the Cayman Islands, the BVI's unfair preference regime, what is believed to be the first extra-territorial summoning of a company director by the Bermuda Supreme Court, the immovables rule in cross-border insolvency, and a comparative look at Singapore's Model Law regime alongside the approaches in the BVI, Cayman Islands, and Bermuda.

We hope these articles provide a valuable and practical resource. Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the contributing authors or the authors of this post, if any of the topics are relevant to matters you are currently facing.
