Elizabeth Stong, Judge of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York; Hon. Aidan Xu, Judge of the High Court of Singapore; and Hon. Kazimbe Chenda, Judge of the High Court, Commercial Division in Zambia.

The central theme of the podcast is the roleof the judiciary in promoting good restructuring practices and cross-border collaboration in insolvency proceedings.

During the podcast, the esteemed judges explore the role of the judiciary in promoting cross-border insolvency cooperation, and what more can be done to enhance the judiciary’s capacity to handle complex cross-border insolvency cases. The podcast also features a list of lessons learned from the handling of complex cases, not necessarily large ones, and an interesting reference to a bakery in Brooklyn, New York.
