Transnational + Cross-border Insolvency

Transnational and cross-border insolvency refer to situations where an individual or business that is unable to pay debts has assets or operations in multiple countries. This creates challenges because different countries have their own insolvency laws. Transnational insolvency involves legal processes that handle these cases on an international scale, ensuring that creditors in different jurisdictions can claim their dues. Cross-border insolvency focuses on cooperation between countries' legal systems to resolve the situation fairly and efficiently, allowing for the orderly distribution of assets and minimizing conflicts between various national laws.
