We are highly experienced in handling contentious winding-up litigations, typically involving listed companies. We have represented clients, including creditors, companies, shareholders and liquidators, in various stages of liquidation, from the winding up proceedings to the end of the liquidation process. We also have substantial experience in dealing with cases involving winding-up proceedings in offshore jurisdictions, typically Cayman Islands, in which most listed companies were incorporated. We are well-connected with many established offshore law firms and have assisted clients in handling oversea court proceedings not only with ease but also in a cost-effective manner.
