The unprecedented write-down of Credit Suisse AT1 bonds affected billions of bonds globally, and Asia has felt the impact no less than anywhere else in the world. Indeed, investors from Asia-Pacific form a substantial part of the exposure.
Withers has been advising bondholders and working on the Credit Suisse AT1 crisis since the collapse of Credit Suisse, and is one of the first global law firms to represent bondholders in Asia.
The Hong Kong market has also reportedly suffered exposure from the crisis. The impact of the fallout is now being crystallized one year on, and many investors are looking for means to recover their losses against the Switzerland Confederation.
Join us as we consider the impact of the crisis and explore the options available to affected investors.

On 6th March 2024, the UK Government made a surprise announcement that it intends to abolish the over 200 year old non-dom regime and replace it in April 2025 with a radically different regime and set of rules.
This will have far-reaching consequences, not only for those under the current regime but also in attracting investment into the UK.
To help you navigate this time of uncertainty, speakers Andrew Talbot and Michael Borchert from Avrio Wealth, and Tom McElligott from Withersworldwide, will explore crucial aspects of this pivotal shift.
In this seminar, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding the differences between UK-dom and a non-dom;
- Key UK tax considerations for individuals in both camps;
- How the rules are going to change, and what this means for affected individuals and investors; and
- Solutions to mitigate potential UK tax liabilities.
