Commentary on the European Insolvency Regulation

Jos Carles, Global Restructuring Review. This book is a 'must read' for every insolvency and restructuring professional who wishes to learn about how the new regulation should and will be applied ... a fantastic contribution to the existing library of cross-border insolvency publications, as it is possibly the first work on the EIR that presents a complete pan-European perspective and that expresses insights of experts from multiple European jurisdictions. Furthermore, as this commentary is published prior
to the recast EIR coming into force, it will be vital for legal professionals when facing cross-border European cases once the new regulation arrives.


Prof. Dr. Peter Mankowski, GPR Law Review This is the leading work in English on the Recast EIR.


Chris Laughton, Eurofenix Professor Bork and Dr van Zwieten have maintained academic rigour in the contributions from a dozen leading scholars and practitioners, producing an authoritative, useful and readable analysis of the legislation.


Paul J. Omar, International Insolvency Review It is clear that this commentary rests on very solid foundations. For that and many other reasons, it should prove an enduring work of reference in the field of international insolvency for scholars, the judiciary, practitioners and policy-makers alike.
