In an article in the August issue of The Bankruptcy Strategist, Rebecca Hume, Jeremy Hollembeak, and Anna Gilbert discuss the novel and evolving role that Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code can play in cross-border bankruptcy proceedings. Drawing on their experience in cross-border insolvency and debtor-creditor disputes, the lawyers discuss how expansive U.S. discovery powers and procedural rules afforded by Chapter 15 can prove advantageous to those pursuing assets or information about fraudulent actors.
