This Congress marks the end of INSOL Europe's 40th anniversary year and will be the first ‘real time’ event that we have organised in nearly two years since the COVID-19 pandemic descended upon us. As our focus shifts from the pandemic to what lies ahead, it is befitting that we celebrate our ‘return to normal’ and our 40th anniversary with all of you in Dublin, a great city, full of history and promises for the future.

We have chosen the theme and title “Back to the Future 2”, following our 2021 Autumn Online Conference, titled “Back to the Future” for our Congress. This theme is primarily a reference to the EU Directive on Restructuring and Insolvency and the status of the implementation process in the various jurisdictions, but it was equally chosen as a tribute to our members and the profession as a whole for their remarkable capacity to adjust and evolve and meet the various challenges of the past two years with extraordinary resilience and creativity. 

We owe a huge thank you to our dedicated Congress Technical Committee, who have prepared a wonderful programme under the supervision of the Co-Chairs Barry Cahir from Ireland and Giorgio Corno from Italy.

Since this is our first 'real time' event in such a long time, we especially look forward to meeting you all again and reconnecting after so many digital Zoom, Skype or Teams meetings. Let’s reinforce our friendship and network during the Congress!

"StaRUG: The New German Restructuring Law"

INSOL Europe's Academic Forum is excited to announce an online lecture by Professor Christoph Thole, on the topic of the new German law on restructuring, in particular the so-called "StaRUG", an act on the implementation of the Directive no. 2019/1023, which adds a completely new pre-insolvency proceeding to the German law.

Christoph Thole is a Professor of Law at the University of Cologne and Managing Director of the Institute for European and International Insolvency Law and the Institute for Procedural and Insolvency Law at the University of Cologne. His research focuses on insolvency and restructuring law as well as (international) civil procedure law, corporate law and tort law. He has written numerous publications on both national and international restructuring law such as a recent article on the new German “Stabilisation and Restructuring Framework for Businesses (to be found under https://eirjournal.com/articles).

Other recent works by Professor Thole include a commentary on the European Insolvency Regulation (Münchener Kommentar zur Insolvenzordnung, 4th ed. 2020, art. 3-6, 19-33) or an article on the recognition of confidential preventive restructuring frameworks (forthcoming).

We look forward to seeing you online for this very topical lecture!
