The Official Receiver’s Office (ORO) on 18 January 2024 entered into a Cooperation Arrangement with the Bankruptcy Affairs Administration of Shenzhen Municipality (BAAS), to enhance cooperation on bankruptcy law matters.
The Cooperation Arrangement was signed by the Official Receiver, Ms. Phyllis McKenna and the Commissioner of the BAAS, Mr. Zhang Jiebo. The cooperation areas include timely communication and exchanges on bankruptcy law-related issues, and arranging mutual exchanges, studies and seminars.
Ms. McKenna, the Official Receiver, said, “The Cooperation Arrangement is a significant step in strengthening communication and the exchange of information on important bankruptcy-related issues and developments between both sides.
