This publication provides a practice-oriented overview of key restructuring regimes in selected jurisdictions, including several EU Member States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the USA. The respective national frameworks are systematically presented on the basis of standardised criteria – such as scope of application, eligibility requirements, self-administration, effects of the commencement of proceedings, restructuring instruments, new financing, classes of creditors, consent requirements, confidentiality and recognition. The focus is on the growing international dimension of corporate restructuring and the question of how the advantages of different legal systems can be exploited in a targeted manner whilst avoiding legal disadvantages.
