Lifecycle of NPLs – From Acquisition and Structuring to Enforcement and Recovery
In-Person | Wednesday 8 October
8:30am - 10:30am at the offices of ADG Legal, Dubai
Emirati Breakfast, Talks, Q&A and Networking
Kindly hosted by ADG Legal, join us for our breakfast briefing on exploring the evolving landscape of non-performing loans across the Middle East.
Join us for a high-impact morning seminar exploring the evolving landscape of non-performing loans across the Middle East. As regional banks begin to offload distressed assets and international investors eye untapped opportunities, this event brings together key stakeholders to dissect the lifecycle of NPLs - from acquisition and structuring to enforcement and recovery.
Drawing on exclusive insights from leading practitioners, our panel will examine the region’s unique challenges: legal frameworks, jurisdictional complexity, and the delicate balance between risk and reward. We’ll also spotlight the growing role of litigation funders, asset tracers, and technology in unlocking value from high-value, cross-border claims.
Expect candid discussion on the regulatory shifts reshaping the market, the rise of enforcement funds, and the strategic role of special assets teams within banks. Whether you're a funder, lawyer, banker, or recovery specialist, this is your chance to engage with the people driving the region’s most significant NPL transactions.
With perspectives on more mature NPL markets vs the GCC, this seminar also offers a rare comparative lens on how global best practices are being adapted to local realities. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and lead in one of the most dynamic corners of the distressed debt world.
