Corporate Restructuring in the Region

Overview

Macroeconomic challenges exacerbated by COVID 19 have significantly increased demand for corporate restructuring. Stakeholders are using increasingly sophisticated techniques and practices to amend business models and operations. Recent reforms in the companies law and insolvency regimes in the region have also fostered an environment that is more conducive to restructuring than in the past.
