Restructuring & Insolvency
What We Do
Our Restructuring and Insolvency practice advises corporate clients, financiers, creditors, and stakeholders on restructuring and reorganisation matters arising from financial stress, strategic realignment, or corporate change. We support clients in navigating restructuring exercises aimed at preserving value, improving operational efficiency, and addressing financial and commercial challenges.
Our experience includes advising on corporate and investment restructurings, business reorganisations, and restructuring exercises undertaken in connection with mergers and acquisitions or changes in capital structure. We combine restructuring insight with corporate, financing, and regulatory expertise to deliver practical solutions tailored to each situation. The practice focuses on providing clear, commercially grounded advice that supports informed decision‑making and positions clients for stability and longer‑term sustainability within Malaysia’s legal framework.
How We Can Assist You
We advise clients throughout restructuring and insolvency‑related processes, from early assessment and strategy formulation through documentation and implementation. Our work includes advising on restructuring options, negotiating and preparing restructuring and settlement documentation, and supporting creditor and stakeholder engagement.
We regularly act for both corporate clients and financiers, assisting in the management of distressed situations and corporate reorganisations, including matters involving Islamic finance structures where appropriate. Our integrated corporate, banking, and regulatory capabilities allow us to provide coordinated advice on complex financial and operational restructurings. Throughout each engagement, we focus on delivering practical, commercially aligned legal solutions that manage risk, preserve value, and facilitate orderly and effective restructuring outcomes.
