In-person seminar in Hong Kong

Location | Withers Hong Kong office - 30/F, United Centre, 95 Queensway, Hong Kong
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 suffered exposure from the crisis and we are assisting investors to recover losses against the Switzerland Confederation.
Investment treaty arbitration is an effective way for bondholders to seek recourse in view of the strong substantive investment protections offered by relevant treaties and the international enforceability of arbitral awards. In this regard, Withers represents a large and growing number of bondholders and is taking steps with bondholders to commence international arbitration on behalf of bondholders in Hong Kong, as well as other jurisdictions. Led by partners from the Withers London international arbitration team, we bring extensive experience in international investment treaty law to represent a large contingent of affected bondholders, which includes over 150 family offices, funds, business owners and private investors with claims against Switzerland.
Join us as we consider the progress to date and explore the options available to affected investors.
