Emerging issues in the restructuring and insolvency industry in Asia

3 Dec - 4 Dec 2026

Session information

Session two: Arbitration v insolvency

Description

These two areas of law often intersect and, when they do, raise issues around jurisdiction and the enforcement of arbitration agreements. Their intersection also questions whether creditor claims should be resolved collectively through insolvency proceedings or individually through arbitration. This panel asks which is right?

The panel will also look at how invoking arbitration and other enforcement tools when restructuring is no longer an option.
