INSOL Europe/½Û×ÓÊÓƵ Coronavirus Tracker of Insolvency Reforms

A tracker of insolvency reforms globally produced by ½Û×ÓÊÓƵ in partnership with INSOL Europe is now available: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Tracker of insolvency reforms globally.

We look at various countries worldwide which are expediting reforms to their restructuring and insolvency laws, temporarily suspending onerous insolvency law provisions, increasing limits for statutory demands, suspending enforcement powers and introducing other measures to deal with the coronavirus crisis. As the situation is rapidly evolving with more countries adding new measures daily, you should contact local lawyers in the relevant jurisdiction to check the current measures in force.
