Our restructuring experts share their thoughts on the trends featuring heavily on our radar in July 2026, namely extraterritoriality and choice of forum. The discussion covers:

How does this compare to key European jurisdictions, and how can our clients avoid common pitfalls?
- Forum Shopping: Why Restructurings Cross Borders – Examples of "good" forum shopping to the UK are on the rise, with the Fossil and New Fortress Energy restructuring plans leading the way. Why does England and Wales consistently prevail as a top restructuring forum, and how does its newest restructuring tool compare with the US' Chapter 11?
