Tanner De Wit partner Robin Darton joins Debtwire Asia senior editor Chaim Estulin to discuss the state of Hong Kong’s insolvency regime, including work arounds used to implement compromises in a city lacking a holistic bankruptcy code and steps that should be taken to modernize the restructuring process. Darton has been practicing as a lawyer in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, with a strong focus on insolvency and restructuring, including cross border matters.

Darton was re-elected earlier this year as chairman of the Hong Kong Chapter of TMA, which will hold its annual APAC conference in the city on 16-17 November.
