At HHQ, our Corporate Restructuring & Insolvency Practice Group, led by Lum Man Chan, offers strategic and commercially grounded solutions for companies navigating financial distress, operational disruption, or regulatory pressure.

The team advises a wide spectrum of stakeholders—corporations, financial institutions, creditors, insolvency practitioners, and investors—on the full breadth of corporate rescue mechanisms under Malaysian law. We are proud to have recently secured Malaysia’s first-ever court-sanctioned scheme under Section 369C of the Companies (Amendment) Act 2024, marking a landmark precedent in pre-packaged restructurings in the country.

Our goal in every case is to preserve value, manage stakeholder interests, and enable businesses to recover, restructure, or exit with clarity and confidence.
