Reviews

...this is a masterful work that conveys what it promises to do and, for that reason, should be of use to practitioners and stakeholders in the restructuring environment. * Paul J. Omar (Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation, 2017) *
It contains an outstanding selection of cases, primarily from courts based in the US, the UK, Australia and Europe. This case study approach makes the book not only more actual and effortless to read, but also extremely valuable for the prospective audience, who are given direct guidelines on how to address the problems they face in their daily practice. It represents a welcome support for all those who practise and deal with insolvency and restructuring matters under the UK and/or the US law. * Eugenio Vaccari (International Company and Commercial Law Review, 2017) *
An authoritative and highly regarded text which contains a wealth of legal expertise presented by, in addition to the authors, thirty-five expert contributors, all of whom offer the benefits of their extensive experience in this field. Highly readable, easily navigable and copiously footnoted, this handy and helpful volume belongs in the library of every transatlantic practitioner. * Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister *
