<li>Assisted in acting for the liquidator of a solvent company in liquidation with significant assets, where the liquidation was significantly delayed by complex cross-shareholdings with two other associated companies also in liquidation. In contentious court proceedings, she and the team successfully assisted the liquidator in formulating a <em>distribution-in-specie</em> scheme to resolve the cross-shareholding impasse—an approach endorsed by the High Court and subsequently affirmed by the Court of Appeal (see: <em>Zheng Yi Trading v Sing Lian Sdn Bhd &amp; Ors [2022] MLJU 377</em>).</li>

Thevan successfully assisted in obtaining an interlocutory injunction restraining the institution from recalling the facility pending the outcome of the suit. The matter was subsequently referred to the Shariah Advisory Council to determine the Shariah compliance of the financing instruments and was ultimately resolved amicably.</li>
