Opis

During the past several years, there have been an unprecedented number of insolvencies and restructurings of multinational corporations, both inside and outside of traditional bankruptcy proceedings. The Law of International Insolvencies and Debt Restructurings is the first treatise to analyze the newly created doctrines of law and procedure that have developed as insolvencies and restructurings have become increasingly international in character and now frequently involve the laws of numerous jurisdictions.

Leading attorneys address developments in bankruptcy and insolvency laws in the countries that have become the focal points for legal proceedings, including the United States, Mexico, England, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, China, France, Japan, and Canada.

Essential topics in the law of international restructuring and insolvency are also explored in depth, including national legislation and procedures, treaties and cooperation agreements, sovereign debt litigation, and inter-creditor relationships.

Coverage includes:

- Methods of restructuring multinational corporate and sovereign debt

- Judicial bankruptcy proceedings

- Rights of creditors

- Jurisdiction and venue

- European Council Regulations

- Choice of Law

- Dispute resolution

- Access by foreign parties to U.S. bankruptcy courts
