EU Adaptation of Important Chapter 11 Provisions
Chapter 11 has been a model and a vision for the EU restructuring community for the past 20 years. Following the enactment of the EU Restructuring Directive in 2019, nearly all EU member states have moved to implement the Directive. This includes the Netherlands, France, Germany and Spain, which have all adopted insolvency and restructuring laws with many of the same features of Chapter 11. The United Kingdom has also enacted a new restructuring process that possesses many of these familiar Chapter 11 features. This chapter compares a number of these new laws with their US Bankruptcy Code counterparts.
This chapter was drafted by London-based partner Ken Baird and counsel Katharina Crinson, New York-based partner Mark Liscio and counsel Samantha Braunstein, Amsterdam-based partner Michael Broeders, Hamburg-based partner Marvin Knapp, Paris-based partners Laurent Mabilat and Guilhem Bremond, Madrid-based partner Ana López, and knowledge lawyer Silvia Angós.
