Description
Recent US bankruptcy court decisions declining recognition of foreign insolvency proceedings have raised new concerns regarding the reach and predictability of US long-arm jurisdiction in cross-border restructurings. Against this backdrop, practitioners advising multinational companies must reassess how to structure complex insolvency and restructuring strategies to secure effective and comprehensive relief across jurisdictions.
