Clark Wilson’s Banking, Insolvency & Restructuring and Fraud & Asset Recovery chair and partner Christopher Ramsay and associate Simon Wu’s article was recently published in LexisNexis Canada’s National Creditor/Debtor Review newsletter. The publication brings together leading authorities to analyze the latest developments and cases dealing with the complex field of creditor-debtor relations across the country.

In their piece, “Navigating Cross-Border Insolvency in the Digital Age: Insights from Atom Holdings” Chris and Simon examine two recent British Columbia decisions (Atom Holdings (Re), 2024 BCSC 1397 and Su v. Atom Holdings, 2025 BCCA 199) that offer important lessons on how courts are adapting cross-border insolvency frameworks to address the realities of cryptocurrency and digital asset recovery.

They highlight the innovative use of the Cross-Border Insolvency provisions under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. B-3), including the first time a Canadian court has used section 272 to grant an Anton Piller–style order. Their article explains how these decisions reflect a more flexible and pragmatic approach to cross-border insolvency proceedings involving digital assets, and how forensic blockchain and cybersecurity experts play a crucial role in tracing and preserving those assets.
