This will be the 13th joint conference between the UK trade body, R3, and its European wide equivalent, INSOL Europe. It will bring together practitioners from across the memberships and beyond to share experiences and debate topical issues from current international and cross-border cases.

The conference will include mainstays such as the international case law and market updates, which will highlight key developments, issues and opportunities, including those emerging in relation to English schemes for foreign companies and in the oil and gas sector. It will also cover fast moving developments from the European Union, the rise of litigation fi nance in cross-border cases and other global developments.

The afternoon will include a cross-border case study, bringing to life some of the main issues from recent and ongoing cases, such as African Minerals, Espirito Santo and Singularis.

Technical sessions will be delivered through a combination of presentations, panel discussions and case studies. Delegates will depart fully up-to-date on the main developments in this area, equipped for the next phase of cross-border insolvencies and restructurings.

Who is this course aimed at?This is a technical conference aimed at all insolvency and restructuring professionals who have an interest in cross-border matters, including insolvency practitioners, lawyers, fi nancial advisers, lenders, distressed asset investors, judges and academics.

Comments from last year’s conference“This is one of the best conferences I have attended”
