Restructuring Global Insight

In our May edition of Global Insight we look at five topics from various jurisdictions around the world. From the UK we cover two areas - the new Pensions Schemes Act 2021 and the criminal offences and their potential impact on restructuring transactions; and the UK’s solutions within the legal and operational toolkit for retail businesses. From the US we look at two examples of how courts and restructuring professionals have sought to address the continuing impact of the pandemic on retail operations for companies in bankruptcy. From the Netherlands we look at the new Dutch pre-insolvency tool (WHOA). And finally, from South Africa, we look at Crypto assets and the new line of enquiry and recovery for insolvency practitioners in South Africa.
