Chasing ghosts: fraud detection, cross border asset recovery and the expanding toolkit for global insolvency practitioners
Monday 1 June (1600 - 1730)
Description
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. The discussion will highlight jurisdictional challenges, enforcement strategies and key risks in complex, multi-jurisdictional restructurings.
