December 16, 2025 IBA Insolvency Podcast: Professor Bob Wessels
Our guest for the next episode of the IBA Insolvency Section Podcast is one of the most distinguished and well-known experts in international insolvency and restructuring law – Professor Bob Wessels.

With over 50 years of experience as a practitioner, judge, legal advisor to the European Commission and academic researcher, Wessels brings exceptional insight to the subject of this episode:
‘The cross-border effectiveness of national preventive restructuring frameworks after the implementation of the EU Preventive Restructuring Directive 2019/1023’.

In anticipation of the upcoming adoption of the EU’s second insolvency directive, we assess the effectiveness of its first directive and the need for the EU to revise insolvency regulations six years after the Preventive Restructuring Directive entered into force.

The conversation is based on a report prepared by the think-tank CERIL (Conference on European Restructuring and Insolvency Law), which was chaired by Wessels between 2016 and 2023.

We invite you to listen to the podcast!
