Description
This panel explores the practical and legislative efforts driving insolvency harmonisation across Europe. It will assess the influence of the Insolvency Harmonisation Directive the feasibility of alignment across jurisdictions, and the implications for cross-border restructurings. Panellists will discuss:
- Is harmonisation realistic or idealistic?
- How financial institutions and advisors are adapting to legislative shifts
- The role of national insolvency cultures in shaping implementation
- Should Europe cross through local policy priorities in favour of a common market?
