Insolvency Insights: The new UAE bankruptcy law & the role of the trustee

In the latest Insolvency Insights podcast, Nicola Jackson, Partner in the Corporate Restructuring and Insolvency Disputes team, sits down with Paul Leggett and Haroon Ahmed, Partners in Deloitte Middle East’s Turnaround & Restructuring practice.

Together, they discuss the key changes brought in by the new Federal UAE Bankruptcy Law and address some of the opportunities missed, such as the absence of a framework for cross-border recognition and the potential benefits of intra-UAE regulation.

Paul also speaks to his experience as a trustee in onshore restructuring proceedings in the KBBO Group restructuring and imparts practical insight on the realities that such an appointment entails.
