Description
Our panel of experts will examine the strategic use of court-driven and insolvency-related processes in order to maximise recoveries against both individuals and corporates across the Middle East. The discussion will cover real life scenarios and assessment of the options available to foreign office holders, judgment creditors, and those seeking to assess and trace the asset position of debtors based in the Middle East. The audience can expect to hear an interactive and lively discussion delivering practical insights into emerging approaches, as well as guidance on navigating the legal and procedural challenges unique to each panel member’s jurisdiction.
