Cross-Border Perspectives on Insolvency and Fraud: Tools, Tactics and Strategic Enforcement Across Jurisdictions

Wilberforce Chambers is delighted to be involved in London International Disputes Week (LIDW) 2026, a multi-day conference comprising events looking at key issues and trends across the international commercial disputes community.

Rachael Earle will be speaking with Paul Johnson (Peters & Peters), Philippe Sylvestre (Brucher Thieltgen & Partners), Yiannis G. Bazinas (Bazinas Law Firm) and Helmut Schwärzler (Schwärzler Rechtsanwälte).

The panel will examine how different legal systems respond to fraud, asset dissipation, and insolvency-linked misconduct in an increasingly interconnected global environment. The session brings together practitioners from key jurisdictions to compare the effectiveness of legal remedies, interim relief, investigative powers and insolvency tools used to trace, freeze, and recover assets across borders in complex cross-border disputes.

The discussion will focus on practical and experience-driven insights into how courts and practitioners approach multi-jurisdictional disputes, including the procedural nuances, enforcement challenges, and strategic considerations that arise when coordinating parallel actions internationally. Focus will be given to the interplay between fraud litigation, insolvency office-holder powers, and cross-border recognition regimes.

Attendees will gain a practical roadmap for designing and executing globally co-ordinated asset recovery strategies, including when and how to deploy the tools available in England and other leading jurisdictions.
