    FTX Bankruptcy—What Could Be Next for the Industry?
    2022-11-30

    One of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges—FTX Trading Ltd.—and many of its affiliates filed for bankruptcy earlier this month.1 While the full impact of the FTX bankruptcy is not yet clear, various responses from the executive branch and federal and state regulators indicate that, in the short term, agencies will continue to use their existing authorities to seek information about the practices of crypto market participants and to enforce existing rules to protect customers and avoid further market contagion.2 The following statements may indicate what market

    地产项目债务重组法律实务(下):重组方案与行政赋能
    2022-11-22

    中伦观点

    在系列上篇中,我们梳理了地产项目债务重组相关政策,结合经验总结债务重组的原则、项目与项目公司尽职调查实务重点。在下篇中,我们着重梳理困境项目重组方案经验,并分享对行政赋能的一些思考,供读者参考。

    房地产行业高速发展10余年,在“房住不炒”的宏观背景以及2020年8月“三道红线”政策后,因房地产行业的发展模式及市场发展规律、政策执行力度、国家宏观调控等多方面的原因,房地产市场从2021年9月开始经历行业“缩表”的阵痛,不少大型房地产企业先后出现债务风险,面临诸多的困难处境,继而影响资金方、施工方、材料设备供应方及购房业主等多方主体。房地产市场影响国民经济及民生多个方面,在行业困境下,政府亦在监管、维稳、施救等多方面遇到难题。表面上看,各方主体皆可按政策与法律处理,但实操中,商业诉求与法律的平衡,经济效果与社会效果、法律效果的协调,社会资源的调度与节约,仍需探索最佳路径。

    本文仅就困境项目的成因、市场常见盘活方案等问题,从法律角度予以整理,请勿以此作为法律意见在实践中套用。

    Creditor secures appointment of High Court inspector to investigate alleged corporate fraud
    2022-11-23

    The High Court has made an order appointing an inspector to investigate alleged fraud and unlawful activity by a company. It appears that this is the first time the order has been made on the application of a creditor seeking to recover its “investment”.

    Part 13 of the Companies Act 20141 sets out the mechanism for the statutory investigation of the affairs of a company. Chapter 2 provides for the court appointment of an inspector to carry out a fact-finding investigation and report to the court. This is a discretionary relief.

    The collapse of ftx - a regulatory and claims perspective
    2022-11-22

    Cryptoassets are traded on a global basis. Indeed, the markets are even more global and constant than markets in more conventional financial instruments, rivalled only perhaps by the FX markets in their reach.

    How to contingency plan for insolvency in a global supply chain
    2022-11-18

    Early contingency planning can significantly reduce the shock of customer or supplier insolvency

    In this edition of our distressed supply chains series, we consider the three key factors in contingency planning for potential insolvency in the supply chain, being (i) early planning analysis and due diligence, (ii) regular monitoring of key supply chain relationships; and (iii) taking early action if something goes wrong.

    Crypto Company FTX Files Massive Bankruptcy in Delaware
    2022-11-21

    Another domino has fallen. Earlier this year, we wrote about the challenges facing the crypto industry that resulted in the bankruptcy filings of Three Arrows Capital, Celsius Network, and Voyager Digital. We noted that other crypto entities could also end up in chapter 11, and that prediction has proven correct.

    地产项目债务重组法律实务(上):政策、原则与尽职调查
    2022-11-17

    房地产行业高速发展10余年,在“房住不炒”的宏观背景以及2020年8月“三道红线”政策后,因房地产行业的发展模式及市场发展规律、政策执行力度、国家宏观调控等多方面的原因,房地产市场从2021年9月开始经历行业“缩表”的阵痛,不少大型房地产企业先后出现债务风险,面临诸多的困难处境,继而影响资金方、施工方、材料设备供应方及购房业主等多方主体。房地产市场影响国民经济及民生多个方面,在行业困境下,政府亦在监管、维稳、施救等多方面遇到难题。表面上看,各方主体皆可按政策与法律处理,但实操中,商业诉求与法律的平衡,经济效果与社会效果、法律效果的协调,社会资源的调度与节约,仍需探索最佳路径。

    单纯的法律手段难以解决问题的情形下,笔者认为:房地产困境的解决,最终需要落实到具体的房地产项目庭外重组与盘活。开展全行业性的政策拯救或对大型地产公司进行全面的庭外重组盘活,需假以时日并多方共同努力。因此,结合近一年多的地产项目重组盘活经验,笔者希望从政府管理、商业诉求、法律实践等方面,为各方在房地产项目困境中破局提供些建议,达到解决具体房地产项目的实际问题,使项目价值最大化,最大程度实现各方利益诉求,从一定程度上缓解目前房地产困境。
