A word of welcome!As Co-Chairs of the IBA Section on Insolvency, Restructuring and Creditors’ Rights (SIRC), we are pleased to send you the programme for our 17th annual conference taking place this May in Paris.

The theme of SIRC’s 2011 annual conference is ‘Only the Strong Will Survive: Financing and Valuing Distressed Entities.’ While it will be difficult to surpass the substance and glamour our 2010 spring conference in Hamburg, we are going to try. Our programme will explore what it takes to survive as businesses and financial institutions fight to recover from the severe economic crisis that gripped the world over the last few years. The ultimate survival of a business depends on its ability to understand its business model, realistically value itself in the market, attract new capital, and adjust to and comply with new legislation designed to prevent future global financial tsunamis. Only those entities that can successfully navigate the new financial realities and restrictions will survive. A diverse group of panellists will explore how debtors and other insolvent entities raise capital, both in and out of restructuring proceedings, how businesses are valued and how those valuation models are used by courts, litigants and financial advisors. The conference will also include an analysis of the lessons learned over the past ten years since the passage of the EU Insolvency Regulations, as well as a review of the new legislation around the globe for dealing with the insolvency of financial institutions.

Our social programmes will be equally inspiring as we partake of Paris’s legendary food, wine and hospitality. The venue of our conference is the historic Hôtel Lutetia. Built in 1910 under the direction of two of the greatest architects of the day, Hôtel Lutetia was the first Art Deco hotel in Paris. Situated in the literary and artistic centre of Paris, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, several painters and writers have stayed or made their home at the hotel including Matisse, Andre Gide, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Picasso. Hôtel Lutetia is within walking distance of the river Seine, the Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame Cathedral and the delightful boutique shops and designer studios on the Left Bank.

Our opening reception will take place at the beautiful and historic Tour Eiffel and the SIRC dinner will be held at the elegant La Maison des Polytechniciens. Originally built in 1703, La Maison des Polytechniciens was originally owned and operated by Louis Béchameil, the Marquis de Nointel, who was known as a gourmet and a discerning art lover. A bit of trivia: Bechamel sauce bears his name.

Our utmost thanks go to our host committee, led by Anja Droege of Marccus Partners, which has done a fabulous job in making the arrangements for our conference. We look forward to seeing you in Paris, and to your active involvement in our conference programmes and in SIRC.

0915 – 1245The financing of debtors and insolvent entitiesPresented by the by the SIRC Enforcement of Creditors’ Rights Subcommittee

When a borrower or portfolio company is in financial distress, and liquidity is drying up, the most critical first step in preserving value, either for a reorganisation or an orderly liquidation, is finding adequate financing on sustainable terms. During the recent credit crisis, it has been extremely difficult for insolvent entities to obtain the new financing needed to bring about a restructuring or orderly liquidation. While the flow of funds has slowly increased, how insolvent entities borrow new money and from whom they borrow it, differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This panel, made up of lenders and borrowers, will discuss what sources of financing are available, what factors come into play, and what considerations each side has to make when considering entering into a distressed loan.

Programme

Sunday 22 May

1900 – 2300 Welcome reception and cocktail dinnerEiffel Tower

The conference starts at the most emblematic symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, ‘the iron lady’. Designed by the French engineer Gustave Eiffel and completed in only 13 months for the World Fair in 1889, this 324 metre (1,063 foot) high iron structure faced massive opposition from Paris elite and was almost torn down in 1909. The Tower was saved for its use as an ideal platform for transmitting antennas. Today it is the most visited paid monument in the world and welcomes 5.5 million visitors each year. Delegates will have the unique opportunity to take advantage of the breath-taking view and to admire Paris by night whilst drinking champagne and networking. The platform can be reached by one of its lifts or, for those energetic enough, on foot – there are 360 steps to the first floor level.

Only registered delegates may attend. Please indicate on the registration form if you would like to attend. Subject to availability.

The IBA would like to thank the sponsors for their generous support of the welcome reception.

1400 – 1730EU insolvency regulations – a decade of lessons learnedPresented by the SIRC Insolvency Legislation Subcommittee

The EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings was adopted by the Council of the European Union on 29 May 2000, and came into effect throughout the EU on 31 May 2002. The regulation does not provide uniform substantive laws for each member country, but seeks rather to create a uniform approach to the choice of governing law and the determination of which country has jurisdiction to open an insolvency proceeding. The EU intends to review the European Insolvency Regulation in 2012. This panel will discuss the pros and cons of a number of possible amendments to the Regulation that could become relevant in relation to this review.

1330 – 1700Insolvency of financial institutionsPresented by the SIRC Reorganisation of Regulated Industries Subcommittee

Since 25 September 2008, over 300 banks and financial institutions have collapsed in the United States. Large numbers of bank failures have also occurred throughout Europe and Asia. To address these failures, new legislation has been passed in the US (The Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and new rules/regulations have been adopted in the EU and in other parts of the world. The panel will discuss how financial institutions can be restructured, the impact of the new laws, rules and regulations that govern the failure of financial institutions, and whether the new laws and regulations will be effective in both stemming the tide of bank failures and minimizing the impact of such failures on businesses, consumers and the global economy.

0915 – 1215Valuation studies: modelling and valuing a financially distressed companyPresented by the SIRC Reorganisation and Workouts Subcommittee

The value of an insolvent entity is directly determinative of the recovery of creditors in any insolvency proceedings. But the answer to the question: ‘What is the entity worth?’ is far from simple. Value depends on many factors, including the cash flow of the business, the type of industry the entity is involved in and the usefulness of the business to potential purchasers and the debtor itself. A panel of investment bankers and lawyers will discuss the different methodologies used in valuing an insolvent entity, how financial statements are read and analysed, and how such valuations (including the often conflicting valuations obtained by different creditor constituencies and the debtor) are used by litigants, by the court and for the development of a more viable capital structure.

International Bar Associationthe global voice of the legal profession

The International Bar Association (IBA), established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies. The IBA influences the development of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a membership of over 40,000 lawyers and almost 200 bar associations and law societies spanning all continents. It has considerable expertise in providing assistance to the global legal community as well as being a source of distinguished legal commentators for international news outlets.

Grouped into two divisions – the Legal Practice Division and the Public and Professional Interest Division – the IBA covers all practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts and up-to-date information. Through the various committees of the divisions, the IBA enables an interchange of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of business law around the globe. Additionally, the IBA’s high-quality publications and world-class conferences provide unrivalled professional development and network-building opportunities for international legal practitioners and professional associates.

The IBA’s Bar Issues Commission provides an invaluable forum for IBA member organisations to discuss all matters relating to law at an international level.

The IBA’s Human Rights Institute works across the Association to promote, protect and enforce human rights under a just rule of law, and to preserve the independence of the judiciary and the legal profession worldwide.

Other institutions established by the IBA include the Southern Africa Litigation Centre and the International Legal Assistance Consortium.

Section on Insolvency Restructuring and Creditors’ Rights overviewThe Section on Insolvency, Restructuring and Creditors Rights is the most prominent international association of lawyers interested in insolvency and creditors’ rights law. Members are encouraged to participate actively in the Section’s work both at its semi-annual conferences and, throughout the year, through the work of its Subcommittees and through articles in the Section’s journal ‘Insolvency and Restructuring International’.

The Section serves as an Official Observer to the UNCITRAL Working Group on Insolvency Law, which it has assisted in developing the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency and with which it is currently working to identify areas for harmonisation of domestic insolvency laws, aimed at ensuring certainty and effectiveness in cross-border trade and other financial transactions. The Section works closely, on these and other efforts, with other multinational institutions concerned with insolvency, such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Asian Development Bank and the Group of Thirty, as well as with organisations of insolvency practitioners such as INSOL International, the Association of European Insolvency Practitioners and national insolvency specialist organisations.

European Regional Forum overviewThe European Regional Forum was established in 1989 to provide a focus originally on the work undertaken by the IBA in developing the practice under changing legal systems of lawyers in Eastern and Central Europe. The Forum was also intended to act as a channel for IBA communication with the bar associations of these local lawyers.

Since 2004 the Forum has been developing and strengthening the existence of the IBA within the whole of Europe by promoting the goals of the IBA to members, non-members and others, disseminating professional know-how, and assisting the committees and other constituencies of the IBA to increase their presence in the different sub-regions of Europe, including parts of North Africa and the Middle East.

The goals of the Forum include addressing current and long-term needs of professional organisations and individual members within the geographical reach of the Forum, as well as increasing membership and participation in the IBA and integrating them within the organisation. The Forum will also facilitate cross-border activity between lawyers and bars in different European countries. The Forum has a particular focus on cross-disciplinary activities.
