The COVID-19 pandemic is posing the biggest existential threat to commercial entities in a generation. Companies across the globe are getting to grips with multiple operational challenges and many are rightly concerned about their business continuity and restructuring options should the pressure begin to become insurmountable.

To help businesses understand their options and consider operational strategies to mitigate the worst impacts of the crisis, Interlaw Ltd. hosted a webinar on 13 May 2020 and assembled an expert panel of specialist corporate restructuring and insolvency lawyers from across the Asia Pacific and the Middle East operations, to provide guidance and practical advice on tackling business-critical concerns.
