Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Episode: INSOL London Colloquium 2026
Q: Why should someone consider applying to next year's ERA Workshop and Academic Colloquium?
Because the event spans international perspectives, supports early career researchers, offers a welcoming environment, and includes incentives like opportunities to present at the main conference and gain valuable feedback from experienced academics and practitioners.
Special Episode: INSOL London Colloquium 2026
Q: What was the focus of the keynote speech on restructuring?
The speaker urged taking time to rethink restructuring not merely as distributing firm value, but as distributing gains, prompting a pause to reconsider fundamental assumptions across jurisdictions.
Ep.81 - The Global Law of Debt
Q: From the East Asia perspective, how should we think about the role of national insolvency law when global debt practices become dominant?
National laws are unlikely to disappear in importance, but the global debt framework means regulators must adapt and potentially set guardrails; competition and cooperation between systems can yield more cost-efficient outcomes while still requiring some level of national oversight.
Ep.74 - The 28th Insolvency Law Regime for the European Union
Q: Can you explain the territorial and personal scope of the 28th regime and how a company would commit to it?
The proposal favors a simple connecting factor based on incorporation under a member state's law, with public registration in a company register to indicate commitment to the 28th regime, rather than relying on COMI, to avoid the uncertainty in locating COMI for groups or cross-border entities.
Ep.74 - The 28th Insolvency Law Regime for the European Union
Q: What would you say are the major advancements in the last decade and which do you see as real achievements?
The introduction of the European Insolvency Regulation and the move toward partial collective proceedings, plus the recognition that private international law needs alignment, are key milestones, with debates on whether further harmonization should be pursued through the 28th regime or maintained at the national level.
