"When Insolvency Crosses Borders: Are We Ready?" Legal Conference

On 11th August 2025, Shearn Delamore & Co. was delighted to co-organise the legal conference “When Insolvency Crosses Borders: Are We Ready?” with Christopher & Lee Ong, a member firm of Rajah & Tann Asia and Lim Chee Wee Partnership (LCWP). This half-day event brought together legal and insolvency practitioners as well as industry professionals to discuss and assess Malaysia’s preparedness in adopting the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency.

The first panel discussion was particularly insightful, featuring practitioners who have been closely involved in the development and discussions surrounding the Cross-Border Insolvency Bill, which was passed by Parliament on 29 July 2025. The panel included our very own Rabindra S. Nathan, alongside Lee Shih, with See Hua Chua as the moderator. Discussions examined the recognition of foreign proceedings, creditor protection, the role of insolvency practitioners, and challenges relating to COMI, asset recovery, and access for smaller players.

Our sincere thanks to all co-organisers, sponsors, speakers, and participants who contributed to this highly engaging and meaningful event.
