INSOL International is a world-wide federation of national associations of accountants and lawyers who specialise in turnaround and insolvency. As a long-term member of the INSOL Group of Thirty-Six, Norton Rose Fulbright is proud to be a main sponsor of INSOL Virtual 2020. Taking the form of a virtual conference this year, INSOL International’s annual conference has secured an even wider range of exceptional speakers from the global restructuring and insolvency community than would have been possible in a single location.
INSOL Virtual 2020
Global economies insulated from the real impact of the pandemic by schemes to subsidise employee salaries and other mitigation measures are now going to start to show the signs of the real cost in terms of insolvencies and other negative financial outcomes. Before this wave breaks, there is a real need for insolvency practitioners and restructuring professionals to pause, understand, and prepare themselves for the significant challenges to come. Through INSOL International, the industry can come together to share insights, understand the latest thinking and agree principles and best practice.
