Given the economic shocks sustained by the banking sector in Ukraine post the crisis of 2014 and Covid-19, it has never been more important to look to maximize recoveries especially concerning Non-Performing Loans (NPL) in situations where the borrower/guarantor has left Ukraine and resides abroad.
Gateley Plc (Gateley) specializes in the recovery of high-value NPL's which enable banks, to unlock hidden assets many of which may have already been either internally written off or provided against. Gateley's experts are willing in many instances to share the risk of funding and litigating the recovery of such assets. Participants had an opportunity to discuss the following topics:
- Obvious advantages of unlocking latent NPL's
- Gateley's approach to such cases
- What types of cases are suitable for this method?
- Use of bankruptcy as a possible remedy for asset recovery
- Worked examples of this approach
