Bank lenders and debtors, including Country Garden Holdings and other major real estate clients, consistently instruct Linklaters in holistic restructurings of offshore liabilities and restructuring of indebtedness, as well as high-value matters involving New York law governed notes and Hong Kong law convertible bonds. Leading such matters are Hong Kong-based practice heads Richard Woodworth, who has expertise in complicated financial debt restructurings, and Denise Fung, who leverages her Hong Kong SAR solicitor advocate qualification to spearhead on contentious insolvency matters. The team has a strong track record advising on enforcement and acting for liquidators, the latter of which Mark Fairbairn, who joined the team in 2024, brings a wealth of experience in as a senior consultant.
