Asset recovery practitioners know all too well that debtors are constantly coming up with new escape routes to flee from or resist asset recovery strategies. This panel will discuss common (and uncommon) defences that are typically raised and how they can be tackled and conquered by creditors. Panellists will consider, for example:

• the use (or misuse) of restructuring plans;
• what creative strategies might be deployed to enforce judgments/awards against difficult debtors;
• issues around establishing ownership;
• surpassing the challenges of piercing the corporate veil and alter ego arguments; and
• defeating third-party interference.
