Reforms, updates and regulatory changes: Growing flexibility and new tactical opportunities

The Negotiated Settlement of Crisis process has become the leading early intervention tool in Italy, supported by increased digitalisation, more efficient court processes and growing familiarity among stakeholders. Filings and success rates continue to rise. Our panel of experts will address how, alongside broader alignment with European restructuring frameworks, recent amendments are strengthening legal certainty and positioning pre-insolvency processes as the default route for many restructurings, enabling faster resolutions and attracting increased international participation.

  • Is negotiated settlement still the most effective route for corporate recovery, and how should companies balance informal and formal restructuring tools to maximise value?
  • How will the ongoing harmonisation of European restructuring and insolvency frameworks influence the Italian market and investor confidence?
  • Proactive restructuring: Is the focus shifting from in court to out of court restructuring solutions, and how is this affecting timelines and outcomes in Italy?
  • Is the negotiated settlement – with its most recent amendments – favouring the interest for distressed M&A by international investors?
