ICC United Kingdom Arb & ADR Conf 2024 - Webinar 2 - Insolvency meets International Arbitration

‘Arbitration’ and ‘Insolvency’ are often described as two worlds with different perspectives on fundamental aspects of the legal system. Whereas arbitration is said to afford primacy to party intent, insolvency is inherently concerned with rights of third parties such as creditors. Complex legal and policy questions arise when the two disciplines are forced to interact. In this session, our speakers will explore some of these issues in the context of ongoing efforts to harmonise cross border insolvency regimes. Moderator: Patrick Taylor, Partner, Debevoise & Plimpton Panelists: James Barratt, Partner and Co-Head of International Disputes – Europe, Vinson & Elkins Angeline Welsh KC, Barrister, Essex Court Chambers Kushal Gandhi, Partner, CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP Emily Saunderson, Quadrant Chambers
