Description
As more jurisdictions across the western hemisphere continue to adopt the UN Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency and to refine the law as implemented, one thing is clear: insolvency tools and remedies are indispensable in many cross-border civil asset recovery cases. This session will update the work of the UNCITRAL Working Group V as related to insolvency and civil asset tracing and recovery tools, while canvassing the availability and practical application of insolvency tools and remedies in the Americas.
