Representative Matters

  • Acted as restructuring investment advisor for the consolidated bankruptcy reorganization of Yanggu Xiangguang Copper Co., Ltd. and 18 other companies.

  • Advised on the consolidated bankruptcy settlement of Haihui Group Co., Ltd. and 32 other companies, where settlement, an approach rarely used in addressing debt risk involving nearly CNY 10 billion, was explored and employed, so that as many creditors as possible were involved to the maximum extent, thereby mitigating the impact of the debt risk on local business environment
