Chasing ghosts: fraud detection, cross border asset recovery and the expanding toolkit for global insolvency practitioners

Monday 1 June (1600 - 1730)

This panel will examine how insolvency practitioners manage cross-border recoveries where assets span multiple jurisdictions, offshore structures and digital platforms. Using a practical case study, it will explore tools such as the EU Insolvency Regulation (Recast), chapter 15 of the UNCITRAL Model Law, avoidance actions and cross-border recognition mechanisms.
