The Symposium was deemed a resounding success, as it provided a unique international platform for the exchange of knowledge and practical advice between academics and practitioners in the field of insolvency & bankruptcy. Following the Symposium, the University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review will publish the comprehensive papers of the speakers.
