Cross-Border Insolvency & Restructuring - From Recognition to Recovery

Introduction

Modern business does not stop at borders, but financial distress often exposes just how complicated that reality can be.

Lenders, borrowers, customers and suppliers increasingly operate across multiple jurisdictions. When one party becomes insolvent, difficult questions arise. Will foreign courts recognise insolvency proceedings? Which laws apply? And how can rights and judgments be enforced internationally?

This new virtual classroom seminar demystifies the complex world of cross-border insolvency and restructurings. From contingency planning and enforcement strategies to the recognition of foreign proceedings and judgments, it provides a clear, practical understanding of how value is preserved and recovered. You will explore key UK and global frameworks that govern insolvency across jurisdictions, helping you navigate real-world international challenges with confidence.

Register today to build the knowledge and tools needed to manage cross-border insolvency issues effectively, from first warning signs through to resolution and recovery.
