03 — Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Our Services

What is the difference between judicial management and a scheme of arrangement?
Judicial management places an independent judicial manager in control of a company to pursue a rescue objective, providing a moratorium against creditor action. A scheme of arrangement, by contrast, allows the company to propose a compromise or arrangement with creditors or members — subject to court sanction — while management typically remains in place. The suitable approach depends on the company's circumstances, the nature of its liabilities, and the level of creditor confidence in existing management.
At what point should a director seek legal advice about insolvency?
A director should seek advice as soon as there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the company may be unable to meet its debts as and when they fall due. This is well before formal insolvency proceedings are commenced. Early engagement allows directors to make documented, informed decisions — which is relevant to assessments of whether their conduct may later attract personal liability. Waiting until the position is clearly irretrievable limits the options available and may affect how a court views the director's conduct.
How long does a corporate restructuring process typically take in Singapore?
Timeframes vary considerably depending on the complexity of the company's liabilities, the number of creditor classes involved, and whether the matter proceeds through the courts. A straightforward creditor workout may be concluded within weeks. A scheme of arrangement requiring court approval and creditor meetings typically takes several months. Judicial management, if a rescue objective is achievable, may extend over twelve months or more. We will give you a realistic indication of timing based on the specific circumstances of your matter.
Can a creditor still enforce its security during restructuring proceedings?
The answer depends on the type of proceeding. A moratorium granted under a scheme application or judicial management will generally stay enforcement action by creditors, including secured creditors in certain circumstances. However, the court has the discretion to lift a moratorium in appropriate cases. Secured creditors should take advice early on the strength of their security, the likely impact of a moratorium on their position, and the relative merits of supporting or opposing a restructuring proposal.
What are the fees for an initial consultation?
We offer an initial consultation to discuss your situation and assess how we may be of assistance. Please contact us to arrange a time. Our service fees for specific engagements are set out on the Solutions page. All fees quoted are in Singapore Dollars and are exclusive of disbursements and applicable taxes.
