This conference will include:

Europe has a head start in dealing with many of the controversial provisions of Chapter 15. The international rules of the new U.S. code are based on the same model law used by the European Insolvency Regulation (EIR), adopted by the EC more than five years ago.

What does the European experience…especially in the contentious debate over “Center of Main Interests” jurisdictional questions…portend for Chapter 15 proceedings?

And what are the latest developments – in and outside the U.S. – impacting your Chapter 15 decisions?
