'Financing and Insolvency'
Registration now open
Early booking rates apply until 1st July
In September 2016, the INSOL Europe Annual Congress will be held in Cascais, Portugal,
a beautiful city close to Lisbon. The Annual Congress is INSOL Europe’s flagship event
attracting 400-500 delegates each year culminating in a spectacular Gala Dinner.
The role of Portugal in the history of Europe is unique and today, Portugal is a modern,
fully integrated European country. Many small and large investors from Africa, America
and Asia are heavily investing in Portugal and sometimes even fixing their residence there.
The restructuring of the local economy over the last 3 years has been a tremendous
success, mainly due to the Portuguese cultural and ideological identification within Europe,
which has helped the Portuguese make a significant restructuring effort. At the Lisbon
Annual Congress we shall discuss which restructuring tools are more efficient and how to
apply them. We shall approach restructuring from a positive perspective as an area of
expertise to create value rather than share misery.
Technical Programme
Once again we are working on a technical programme, appealing because of its diversity,
as well as its rich insights into the world of restructuring and insolvency around Europe and
beyond.
Topics will be presented by practitioners, judges and academics, with a focus on Financing
and Insolvencies - with just enough academic and theoretical explanation, and an
emphasis on the relevance for practitioners, from an economical and financial angle.
Topics to be discussed will include: Global Credit Risk Management, Shareholders as
creditors, LMA Financing, Distressed Financing, Lender Liability, Estate Financing,
Terminating of credit agreements and Credit Bidding.
Of course, the recast of the European Insolvency Regulation will be discussed as well. In
2017 this new regulation will come into force and what tips and tricks can we have in
advance?
Academic Programme
As in previous years, the Academic Forum of INSOL Europe will be holding its annual
conference immediately prior to the main congress. Click here for more details.
