The 3rd CERIL International Conference on European Restructuring and Insolvency Law took place on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 May 2025, in Leiden, the Netherlands. This year, the theme was:

Schuman 2.0

A New Horizon for European Restructuring and Insolvency Law

The conference marked the 75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration. This Declaration, signed on 9 May 1950, laid the basis for growing European collaboration and the current day European Union. It has also paved the way for various restructuring and insolvency law initiatives. Our 3rd CERIL International Conference reflected on this evolving landscape of European restructuring and insolvency law.

The discussions focussed on the experience with the European Insolvency Regulation 2015, now 10 years after its entry into force. The conference also discussed the path for further harmonisation, including the Proposal for an Insolvency Directive and the new ideas for the introduction of a 28th EU-level insolvency law regime.

Registrations are now CLOSED - see you next year!
