Kugler Wechsler helps foreign representatives, trustees, creditors and stakeholders navigate Canadian recognition and cross-border insolvency issues.
Coordinating Insolvency Strategy Across Borders
When assets, creditors or proceedings span more than one jurisdiction, insolvency strategy becomes more complex. You may need Canadian recognition of a foreign proceeding, protection for Canadian assets, coordination with foreign counsel or advice on how Canadian law affects your rights and remedies.
