Regional Financial Institution
Resolving Insolvency Dispute
Ankura experts were engaged to investigate the financial position of the third-largest financial institution in a European country following a bank failure and evaluate the damages claims made by a foreign investor. In the end, the claimant withdrew claims in full after Ankura demonstrated that the bank was insolvent prior to the alleged violation.
