A big thank you to Holly Hamilton and Blake Atherton for hosting last night at the long awaited return of the IWIRC quiz. Along with Paul Quinn, Melissa T. and Edward Boyle we came a very respectable second place - time to get studying for next year's event!

It was a great opportunity joining the panel for the “Plenary Session: Special Situations and Distressed Debt: Identifying Opportunities” at the Insolvency Practitioners Association of Singapore (IPAS) 2024 Singapore Insolvency Conference held October 9-10, alongside Jin Low (Kroll), Billy Anugerah (SC Lowy) and the very able moderator Chin Seng Chew (Clifford Chance). As a conversation from different perspectives - an insolvency practitioner, private equity, legal counsel, and corporate trustee – the panel provided real time holistic views on trends and challenges in the distressed debt and special situations space across several jurisdictions, whilst highlighting the changing parameters when evaluating opportunities. Particularly useful was the shared transactional experience of the panel which also illustrated the different rationales applied to new investment and restructuring criteria. Thanks to IPAS in hosting a relevant and informative program and event!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting on the INSOL International Future Leaders Panel alongside Paul Quinn, Tiffany Wong and Frederick Hui where we discussed career choices and work life balance. Some of the key themes included working out what is important to you, setting boundaries, always leaving doors open, building your network by putting yourself "out there"; but also working hard and earning your stripes. Im lucky to have a supportive workplace that allows me to do the juggle! A highlight of the evening was listening to Aisling Dwyer interview the Honourable Madam Justice Linda Chan, Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong SAR. The INSOL International Future Leaders Programme is a fantastic opportunity for budding practitioners who want to develop their career and global network. Thank you also to Kirkland & Ellis for hosting us.
