- Trustee Discretion – When, why and how
Head of our Asia Pacific Corporate Trust & Agency team, Tim Beech, looks at when trustee discretion should be used, why due care and consideration need to be applied to its use and how it can be exercised in a manner that protects the interests of the trustee.
- The Keepwell Structure as a credit enhancement – innovative, ineffective or both?
Senior Associate, Holly Hart, will outline the structure of a Keepwell bond, discuss the recent concerns regarding their ineffectiveness as a means to protect the holders in an insolvency and how it remains an effective credit enhancement feature for certain bond issuers and products.
