Webinar: The Dutch Scheme in international restructurings

The Dutch Scheme (Wet homologatie onderhands akkoord, WHOA) entered into force on 1 January 2021. In six months since its introduction, the Dutch Scheme has already proven an effective restructuring tool in the Dutch market. Last year we discussed the highlights of the Dutch Scheme.

During this year’s webinar, we will focus on use of the Dutch Scheme and discuss the key aspects to consider, including:

• Lessons learned during the first six months of the Dutch Scheme.
• Jurisdiction and recognition of the Dutch Scheme.
• The possibility of a Dutch Scheme process in parallel with a foreign restructuring process such as the English Scheme of Arrangement or Restructuring Plan.
• Certain key features of the Dutch Scheme, including the benefits of a freezing order.
