Cross-Border InsolvencyEarly Contract and Charterparty Review (Part 13 of Economic Crisis Series)
Bankruptcy proceedings Part 13 in our series on how to deal with the economic crisis – a guide for international businesses. Edward Floyd, founding Partner at ZFZ, addresses US bankruptcy proceedings in light of recent events and gives an overview of the inner workings of Title 11 of the US Code. What protections can a creditor rely on when a counterparty is insolvent? This is a central consideration in protecting a party’s exposure in what is at best a timid market and may be a full-blown financial crisis. The US scheme also covers the handling of foreign bankruptcy proceedings and knowing the areas of law and issues where to stand your ground is key to maximize a creditor’s chances of prevailing and finding some measure of recovery in the collective proceeding that is bankruptcy. Having skilled counsel provide timely and dynamic advice as counterparty risk increases or defaults become apparent, can be of immense benefit to creditors. ZFZ has been very active in this area. We have been involved in high profile bankruptcies and are happy to discuss the cross-section between maritime law and bankruptcy. For further information please contact Ed Floyd or anyone from the ZFZ team to discuss this, or any of the other topics in the video series.

Provisional Relief in Aid of Arbitration Early Contract and Charterparty Review (Part 8 of Economic Crisis Series)
Arbitral interim measures Part 8 of our series on the tools and strategies that international businesses can take to protect their positions in an economic crisis. The New York CPLR (Civil Practice Law and Rules) provide for a host of interim measures to secure a party’s position at the outset of arbitration. This can take different shapes, but New York has what should be considered a creditor-friendly scheme in place. Edward Floyd, Partner at ZFZ, shares his experience with aiding a creditor in a tough market. New York’s procedure is using a fairly low burden, requiring only a showing that an eventual award might be rendered ineffectual without provisional relief. This is a valuable tool to keep in mind, particularly when you cannot use Rule B – say if the claim is non-maritime, such as for a commercial product/commodity sales contract, and it contains an arbitration clause. Here at ZFZ, we are always looking to find creative solutions for our client’s problems. We combine maritime and non-maritime proceedings for optimal outcomes. Be in touch and we are happy to discuss. For further information please contact Ed Floyd or anyone from the ZFZ team to discuss this, or any of the other topics in the video series. -
