Podcast: Restructuring Across Borders Toolkit – Belgium

Following on from the relaunch of A&O Shearman’s Restructuring Across Borders Toolkit, this free and easy-to-use resource developed by our market-leading restructuring group (where applicable, in conjunction with our partner law firms), offers information and guidance on key practical aspects of restructuring and insolvency proceedings in more than 50 jurisdictions around the world.

To coincide with this relaunch colleagues from across our European network have sat down with Christopher Poel to discuss what pre-insolvency rescue and compromise proceedings are available to debtors in those jurisdictions, whether there have been any novel or exciting uses and deployments of those processes, and if there’s anything interesting coming down the line.

The sixth podcast in the series sees Christopher Poel joined by Bart De Bock, Julien Hislaire and Esther Maes to discuss Belgium’s transposition of the EU Directive on Restructuring and Insolvency and the types of restructuring proceedings introduced into Belgian legislation, and some interesting examples of where the newly available options have been used to restructure companies in Belgium.
