Davis Polk advised Elpida Memory, Inc. (Elpida), a debtor in a corporate reorganization proceeding pending in Japan, in obtaining United States recognition of its Japanese plan of reorganization. Elpida’s highly contested cross border reorganization case has been (and continues to be) followed with great interest among bankruptcy practitioners, judges and academics around the world, largely due to the novel issue of Chapter 15 recognition of a Japanese reorganization plan – which had been sought but never obtained in any prior Chapter 15 case. Elpida’s U.S. recognition order marks the first time a United States court has granted full recognition to a Japanese reorganization plan under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
