First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01How much time is there before cash runs out or a payment falls due?
  2. 02Who are the main creditors and what security do they hold?
  3. 03Where are the assets and the group companies?
  4. 04Are directors at personal risk if trading continues?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Assess the position and directors' duties quickly.
  2. Step 2Open talks with lenders and key creditors.
  3. Step 3Coordinate insolvency or restructuring steps in each country.
  4. Step 4Protect value: assets, contracts and people.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • Court vs arbitration forumAgreement uses arbitration while assets and key witnesses are in different countries
  • Recognition of judgmentsA party wins abroad but needs lawful local recognition and enforcement
  • Emergency asset preservationA respondent may move assets before final proceedings conclude
  • Capital movement limitsAn investment generates profits that cannot readily be repatriated
