EECC 2020 - Kyiv, Ukraine
Date
21-05-2020 to 22-05-2020
Location
Kyiv, Ukraine

Our Conference program is taking shape thanks to our technical committee – Jean Baron (CBF Associés), Sergey Boyarchukov (Alekseev, Boyarchukov and partners), Roman Marchenko (Ilyashev & Partners), Anton Molchanov (Arzinger) with the title: ‘Tectonic Changes in Ukrainian and International Insolvency’
Kyiv is located on the Dnieper River. At the banks of the river, stands a monument dedicated to the city’s founders, depicting a boat with the three brothers armed with spears and a bow standing at the stern and their sister standing on the prow with her arms stretched as opening for a new beginning. This evocative image, the embodiment of struggle, determination and courage, is illustrated today by Ukrainian insolvency professionals. This means that the Ukrainian insolvency profession is full of opportunities. On 21 October 2019 the Ukrainian Code on Bankruptcy Proceedings, adopted earlier this year, became effective.
The new law aims to strengthen the rights of creditors, improve the procedure of debtors’ assets sale at bankruptcy auctions, provide precise mechanisms for restoring the solvency of debtors, and enhance the overall efficiency of bankruptcy proceedings. The Code introduces the concepts of personal bankruptcy and simplifies corporate bankruptcy. Moreover, their efforts of creating an Insolvency Practitioners’ Association have paid off, and recently they had their first general meeting. Similar to the Dnieper, as legend states, blessed by his father to transform into a river and catch up to his sister, Ukrainian insolvency practitioners are moving fast and we look forward to sampling a little bit of their innovative practice.
It is this determination that makes Ukraine the perfect place for our 16th EECC Conference!
The EECC Conference will bring you knowledge, widen your network, stimulate your innovative self and expand your vision while providing a relaxing and memorable time in this beautiful city. We are very excited about this event and look forward to welcoming you in Kyiv. Registration will be open soon.

INSOL Europe Annual Congress 2020: Sorrento, Italy
Date
01-10-2020 to 04-10-2020
Location
Sorrento, Italy
Download our Congress flyer here for full details >It is with great pleasure that we invite you to our 39th Annual Congress from 1 to 4 October 2020 in Sorrento (Italy) on the breathtaking Amalfi coast.
Expect lemon groves, implausibly clear waters, a spectacular view of the Gulf of Naples and marvellous sunsets. It was here, though, that Ulysses resisted the tempting chants of the Sirens, tied to the mast of his ship and with his ears plugged with wax!
Expect a tempting technical programme. An enriching plethora of debates and discussions under the visionary overall theme “Towards a New World”. In this new world, Brexit would have happened (…or would it?), Members States will be in the process of transposing the Directive on Pre-Insolvency Restructuring and the new groundbreaking reform of Italian insolvency law would have come into force.
These and many more visions will be the topics of the sessions in the technical programme put together expertly by our hardworking Congress Technical Committee with co-chairs Giorgio Corno (Studio Corno Avvocati) and Simeon Gilchrist (Edwin Coe) at the helm.
We are very pleased and thankful for all the suggestions for topics received from the membership – the Congress Technical Committee has been spoilt for choice!
Come to Sorrento, make the debates and discussions lively, stay unplugged and connect ‘In Real Life’!
