Held at the Rixos Premium Dubrovnik, there will be 2 days of technical sessions (10 hours for CPE) with expert keynote speakers and panel discussions, as well as the usual ancillary meetings, networking opportunities and our wonderful Gala Dinner.

The city of Dubrovnik lies in the far south of the arc that forms Croatian soil, located on the thin coastal strip between the high hills and the calmness of the Adriatic sea. Dubrovnik is filled with outstanding natural beauty and many efforts have been made to preserve its varied ecological sites. The city offers an astonishingly clear blue sea, unique flora and fauna, scenic sunsets and a warm Mediterranean climate.

Counting only about 30,000 people, Dubrovnik is the cultural and social centre of the region, the County of Dubrovnik-Neretva and the most famous city of Croatia.

Known as “The Pearl of the Adriatic”, the city of Dubrovnik is featured by the fairytale appearance of the Old Town (a World Heritage site) and its white stone defensive walls with mighty forts and towers. More than two-thirds of the Old Town’s buildings suffered bomb damage and were entirely rebuilt after the Croatian War of Independence. Dubrovnik’s white walls reflect survival and resilience, a message of hope.

Keynote Speakers

This year we are very pleased to announce that we have secured four significant keynote speakers as well as academics and a broad range of panellists from our membership.

Bojan Fras, Vice-governor of the Croatian National Bank, responsible for coordinating and managing the Legal Area and the Consumer Protection Monitoring Office will open our Congress, followed by José Garrido, Senior Counsel in the IMF’s Legal Department.

The second day of our Congress will start with Fabris PeruškoCEO and member of the Management Board of Fortenova Group, Croatia. Lord Justice Snowden from the Court of Appeal of England & Wales will then share with the audience his extensive experience in restructuring cases, followed by a discussion with other judges.


Technical Programme

Our facilitator in Dubrovnik will be Frances Coulson (Wedlake Bell, UK), who, along with her fellow Co-Chair Jelenko Lehki (Lehki Law Office, Croatia), and our expert technical committee, have been working on the technical programme. The overall theme is ‘Resilience in the face of adversity’ and will include key topics such as:
  • Designing the new European restructuring plans
  • Norwegian Air case
  • Risky Business - managing from the frontline

  • Adventures in asset tracking and recovery
