The automotive sector is facing major disruption from electrification, supply chain challenges, cost pressures and shifting demand, leading to rising insolvencies among suppliers. As a result, restructuring and insolvency tools are increasingly used not only to stabilise distressed companies but also to facilitate sales, operational downsizing, plant closures and strategic transformation.

This panel will offer a practical, cross-border perspective on how these frameworks are being applied across the automotive value chain. From original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to suppliers, this panel will highlight recent developments, stakeholder dynamics, distressed M&A and how different jurisdictions use legal tools to support consolidation and long-term sustainability.
