[Webinar] Restructuring and Insolvency:
review of recent cases with an emphasis on
cryptocurrency and cross-border insolvency cases
Synopsis
The Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 (“IRDA”) was passed by the Singapore Parliament on 1 October 2018, as part of Singapore’s efforts to become the preferred hub for cross-border financial disputes and debt restructuring. In the three years since the enactment of the IRDA, there have been significant developments in Singapore’s restructuring and insolvency laws, in part due to a string of high-profile collapses in the cryptocurrency space.
This webinar examines the developments in Singapore’s restructuring and insolvency framework through a review of recent notable cases, including an examination of how Singapore’s restructuring framework has been leveraged by cryptocurrency companies in distress. The seminar also highlights contemporary issues in cross-border insolvency, along with recent developments in insolvency and arbitration.
