    Das Starug und dessen bedeutung für die restrukturierung von immobiliengesellschaften - Die wichtigsten fragen und antworten
    2024-06-18

    Insolvenzanträge von namhaften Projektentwicklern und Immobiliengesellschaften stellen die betroffenen Unternehmen und ihre Gläubiger vor große Herausforderungen und setzen die gesamte Immobilienbranche unter Druck. Gleichzeitig gewinnen alternative Restrukturierungsmethoden, die außerhalb oder bereits im Vorfeld eines formalen Insolvenzverfahrens stattfinden, zunehmend an Bedeutung.

    Vor diesem Hintergrund fällt auch vermehrt das Stichwort “StaRUG“, wenn es um die Restrukturierung von immobilienhaltenden Gesellschaften geht.

    Sidecar vehicles: injecting liquidity and flexibility in a challenging fundraising environment
    2024-05-07

    Fund sponsors continue to face a challenging fundraising market and many are sensitive to increasing investor demand for liquidity. Higher interest rates and public market dislocation continue to make capital-raising difficult, while decreased fund distributions are limiting capital available for new commitments, leading investors to prioritize liquidity and invest cautiously.

    Restructuring Activity Stays Elevated Even as Recession Seems Less Likely
    2024-05-07

    It is impossible to reflect on the current state of the U.S. economy without recognizing how off the mark recession calls have been since 2022. It was only a year ago that two-thirds of economists regularly polled by Bloomberg expected a U.S. recession within a year. Even today that percentage is still a lofty 30%, though scant evidence of an impending downturn is found in macroeconomic data or in plain sight, notwithstanding the weaker-than-expected advance GDP report for 1Q24. It’s not just economists who have been errant in this call.

    Prevention principle applied to claims for contractual interest
    2024-05-07

    Harbour Front Limited v The Official Receiver and Trustee of the Property of Leung Yat Tung [2024] HKCFI 1203 provides an interesting illustration of how the ‘prevention principle’ may be applied in an unusual scenario of a claim for contractual interests under a settlement agreement. Whilst contractual provisions are unlikely to provide for any express constraint on a claim for contractual interests, the judgment offers valuable insight into how such a claim may nonetheless be subject to limitation.

    2024-05-07

    The Court of King’s Bench of Alberta (the Court) recently revisited the stringent boundaries on the types of claims that can be brought against court-appointed officers.

    Hong Kong Court of Appeal rules arbitration agreement trumps winding-up petition in insolvency
    2024-05-06

    The Hong Kong Court of Appeal has finally laid to rest the vexed issue of whether an arbitration agreement or a winding-up petition should take precedence in an insolvency situation. In two parallel decisions, the Court of Appeal ruled that an arbitration agreement should be treated in the same way as an exclusive jurisdiction clause and that the principle should be given a wide interpretation.

    CEOの綱渡りな旅 - フリーマネーからオペレーショナル・エクセレンスへ
    2024-05-08

    第3回は、「フリーマネーからオペレーショナル・エクセレンスへ」

    世界経済は2023年の多くの予想を上回り、2024年に順調なスタートを切ったようだ。中央銀行は、景気後退を回避しながらインフレを抑制するという、捉えどころのないソフトランディングを成し遂げようとしている。

    金利は今年中に低下し始めると見込まれるが、中央銀行はインフレを確実に抑制するために金利を高い水準に維持する決意を示している。市場では高金利の長期化のムードが続いており、昨年の米国金利は10年ぶりの高水準を記録し、10年国債の利回りは16年ぶりに5%の閾値を超え、低格付けクレジットの利回りは2008年の金融危機以来のピークに達した。アリックスパートナーズが毎年発表しているディスラプション・インデックスでは、CEOが2024年に自社のビジネスが直面する最大の脅威として「金利」と「インフレ」を挙げている。

    このような事業環境を考えれば、倒産が増加しているのは当然だ。昨年、米国の倒産件数は金融危機以来の水準となった。とはいえ、歴史を振り返ってみると、現在の資本コストは特別に高いわけではないことは認識しておくと良いだろう。いまこそ企業は10年間にわたるフリーマネー時代に萎縮した筋肉を鍛えるタイミングだ。これ以降で3つのポイントを紹介する。
