A comparative analysis of Singapore's bold insolvency reforms
Singapore has made significant reforms to its insolvency and restructuring legislation in recent times. These reforms have significantly enhanced the power of restructuring tools available in Singapore, through what has been described as a unique hybrid regime combining the flexibility of the English regime with the powerful arsenal of US Chapter 11 provisions.
