The INSOL Europe Academic Forum is organising a free half-day conference at the Humboldt-University Berlin on 29 April 2016. 

The overall topic ties in with the Academic Forum Conference held last October in Berlin during the INSOL Europe Annual Congress – recovery and restructuring in the banking sector. This is not meant to be repetitive but rather to underline the enormous importance of this area of insolvency and restructuring law. After all, what can be observed here is a fundamental shift of the underlying paradigm: from a debtor-creditor driven procedure towards a state-controlled one where supervision is determining the entire life cycle of financial institutions. It is a not an entirely unlikely assumption that these developments will have far reaching implications – including impact on the commercial insolvency law.

The speakers are acknowledged experts in their field and include: 

• Monica Marcucci from the Banca d’Italia in Rome will speak about “Shareholders in times of distress: from veto powers to write down?”
• Thorsten Höche, General Counsel of the German Banking Association, addresses “BRRD-Implementation in Germany – Goodbye to Insolvency law for Banks?”
• Thomas Bauer, Chair of the FINMA Board of Directors (the Swiss banking supervisory body), is going to speak about “The DNA of the Financial Market Insolvency Regulation: Waiving the traditional principles? – The Swiss perspective.” 
• Prof. Ignacio Tirado, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, will broaden the perspective with “The problems of the holdings of sovereign debts in the balance sheets of banks.”

At this conference, jointly hosted by the INSOL Europe Academic Forum, Nottingham Law School and Nijmegen Law School, the central theme of papers and the panels will be on the theme of “Re-imagining Rescue”. This marks the second time the conference will be in Nottingham following the successful event there in 2012.

Nottingham and Nijmegen have recently begun a collaboration which has seen the introduction of a new “Dual” LLM Programme and other initiatives. Both Universities are justifiably earning a reputation as centres of excellence in insolvency, witness the many academics on their staff engaged in the discipline, and the Academic Forum welcomes this opportunity to once again collaborate with the Law Schools.
