Navigating the challenges confronting practitioners (IPs) when identifying, tracing and recovering/realising assets in China

 

International investors remain cautious about market uncertainty and the geo-political risk of investing in China. The challenges and practical considerations for IPs when identifying and recovering assets in China remain. 

 

The panel of industry experts will discuss:
•    Steps in preparing to enforce against assets in China – the normal playbook does not apply!
•    The importance of planning – inbound and outbound enforcement strategies.
•    Funding considerations for IPs when investigating claims or seeking to realise assets.
•    The role of other jurisdictions, including offshore, in assisting IPs to initiate a recovery process.
•    The availability of, and access to, data and information in China (and the very real risks and limitations in conducting DD).
