CERIL

The CERIL Executive is pleased to announce the forthcoming CERIL international conference, scheduled for Thursday 26 and Friday 27 March 2026 on:

After the Big Bang:

Europe’s expanding restructuring and insolvency law regime

Hosted this year by the KU Leuven — the university where the foundations of the Big Bang theory were laid — CERIL’s 4th International Conference will explore the rapidly expanding landscape of European restructuring and insolvency law. Once an area largely untouched by harmonisation efforts, this field has undergone remarkable transformation in the last years. With reforms driven by the EU’s Capital Markets Union and the prospect of a 28th company and insolvency law regime, change is underway.

This year’s programme will examine the implications of the new EU Insolvency Directive (Insolvency III) for legislators, courts, and practitioners. Building on last year's CERIL statement, substantive discussions will focus on the European Insolvency Regulation 2015 ahead of the upcoming review. Looking ahead, the conference will explore what the next phase of development may bring — from the design of a 28th EU-level insolvency regime to the growing impact of digitalisation on restructuring and insolvency practice.
