Our Managing Partner Roy Leung and Partner Mathew Liu gave a CPD talk on “ListCo Dispute: Parties, Perspectives, and Playbook”, at Denis Chang’s Chambers with Counsel Anson Wong Yu Yat as co-speaker.

Navigating listed company (ListCo) disputes demands balancing corporate control with strict regulatory compliance. The real-world power struggles between shareholders, boards, lenders, and liquidators may require key tactical maneuvers like EGM requisitions, injunctions, provisional liquidations, etc. while high-stakes regulatory hurdles, including trade suspensions and Stock Exchange requisitions, shall be handled with additional care.

As proposed in the Talk, listed companies may consider developing an in-house playbook, reflecting the elements of 4"C"s: Control, Compliance, Cost-Efficiency & Cross-Border, in preparation of the pre-action, active-combat and post-resolution stages when disputes arise.

SFKS is experienced in advising listed companies, their shareholders, directors and independent committees, as well as insolvency practitioners, in the context of listed company disputes. Our Dispute Resolution Department and our Corporate & Commercial Department collaborate in providing instructive, strategic and timely legal support to stakeholders in the midst of heated conflict within and beyond listed companies.
