Quentin Pak to speak at IBA Asia Pacific Regional Forum and Insolvency Section Conference
Quentin Pak, Director at Burford Capital will speak on panel, “Arbitration v Insolvency,” hosted during the IBA conference, 'Emerging issues in the restructuring and insolvency industry in Asia.' The session will take place on December 4 at 11:15am HKT in Hong Kong.
These two areas of law often intersect and, when they do, raise issues around jurisdiction and the enforcement of arbitration agreements. Their intersection also questions whether creditor claims should be resolved collectively through insolvency proceedings or individually through arbitration. This panel asks which is right? The panel will also look at how invoking arbitration and other enforcement tools when restructuring is no longer an option.
Mr. Pak will be speak alongside Look-Chan Ho (Des Voeux Chambers), Blossom Hing SC (Drew & Napier), Ryo Kawabata (Mori Hamada & Matsumoto), Joanne Lau (Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre) and Chiyong Rim (Kim & Chang).
The foremost membership organisation for international legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies, the IBA was born out of the conviction that it could contribute to global stability and peace through the promotion and protection of the rule of law. The present membership is comprised of more than 80,000 individual international lawyers from most of the world’s leading law firms and some 190 bar associations and law societies spanning more than 170 countries.
