Corporate restructuring has become an increasingly economically vital topic in recent years, reflecting a shift in the global approach to insolvency towards a focus on rescuing viable businesses rather than liquidation. This timely Research Handbook examines all areas of the law closely connected to corporate insolvency, rehabilitation, and rescue, as well as the introduction of the EU Preventive Restructuring Directive and other reforms from around the world. Featuring international expert academics, practitioners, and judges, the Research Handbook takes a thematic approach, exploring national and international models for rescue, stakeholders in insolvency, corporate structures and organizational models, specialist process issues, and institutional support, as well as interdisciplinary and cross-field aspects of insolvency and restructuring. Contributions analyze issues from a broad variety of perspectives, including the economic and social aspects of insolvency, and provide a comparative discussion of topics that will further inform global academic debate in this area. Scholars and students of corporate and insolvency law, commercial law, and law and economics will find the interdisciplinary legal, theoretical, and jurisprudential discussion invaluable. The analysis of current reform agendas, practical and alternative solutions to common problems, and comparative approach will also be of interest to practitioners and policymakers.
