Cross-Border Insolvency

30 September – 2 October 2021

After a very successful Summer School on Transnational litigation: current issues in civil and commercial matters, held, it is now open a shorter Summer School on cross-border insolvency.

Cross-border insolvency is a very interesting area of the law, where civil procedure, private international law, commercial law and other branches of the law meet and melt with each other, often raising very complicate problems which courts from different jurisdictions could be prone to solve in different ways. When a debtor becomes insolvent, private and public interests come into the picture, often leading to conflicts of jurisdictions and conflicts of laws, in a context where forum shopping has become a very sophisticated technique. At the international and at the European level, several uniform law statutes and regulations have been agreed upon and it is fundamental for any practitioner to be familiar with them.

The program of this Summer School deals with some fundamental issues of cross-border insolvency, concentrating, in particular on European harmonized provisions, in a comparative perspective, with both a theoretical and a practical approach.

The Faculty of the Summer School is composed of experts from different jurisdictions, with an academic as well as a professional background.

The Summer School is aimed at law students as well as law graduates and law practitioners who want to obtain a specialised knowledge in this complex and fascinating area of International civil procedure.

The lectures will be offered in part online and in part in a “blended” way (both in presence and online). Participants will have the possibility to attend every class from a Room in the Ravenna Campus of the Unibo.

The Bar Association of Ravenna will grant 20 formative credits to Italian lawyers attending the whole course in presence (1 credit for each session) of Ravenna will grant 20 formative credits to Italian lawyers attending the whole course in presence (1 credit for each session)
