Bart De Moor, Head of our Insolvency and Restructuring practice, will moderate one of the sessions at the 26th Annual IBA Global Insolvency and Restructuring Conference on Tuesday 30 November.

The title of the session is "Mediation and reorganisation proceedings”.

Companies in distress need early and timely intervention to increase the chances of having a successful turnaround to their operations. A mediator should not only resolve disputes, but also contribute towards devising the right measures to turn around the company. The panel will discuss the mediator’s trump cards, the current practice and room for mediation in formal or out-of-court reorganisation proceedings, and the different arrangements in several countries.
