Jacqueline Chan, a partner in Milbank LLP’s Singapore office, participated in a panel discussion titled, “Turning Collapse into Cover: Insurance Strategies for Restructuring and Insolvency Professionals” on November 5 in Singapore. The event was presented by Aon in collaboration with the International Women's Insolvency & Restructuring Confederation (IWIRC).
The panelists discussed how deals involving distressed assets could be effected efficiently, particularly on how innovative insurance products might be helpful in closing valuation and addressing key risk concerns between contracting parties. Ms. Chan focused on key differences between typical M&A and distressed transactions, and shared thoughts and strategies on how difficult distressed cross-border M&A deals might be transacted. She was joined by Adrian Chai, head of transaction solutions, Aon M&A and Transaction Solutions; Debby Lim, senior partner, Dentons Rodyk, and Asia regional director of membership, IWIRC; Justin Lim, partner, Singapore Turnaround & Restructuring, Deloitte; and Cathryn Neo, associate director (litigation and contingent risks), Aon M&A and Transaction Solutions.
Recognized as an exceptional leader and dealmaker, Ms. Chan advises on many of the most innovative, cutting-edge M&A, international corporate finance and distressed transactions in the Asia region. She was selected for The Legal 500 “Hall of Fame” and is consistently recognized by Chambers, Euromoney and IFLR1000 as a leading lawyer in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, banking and restructuring.
