    "Double Luxco Structuring" Managing "COMI-shift" insolvency risks in European acquisition finance
    2013-02-26

    Introduction

    Luxembourg’s sophisticated financial services infrastructure, global brand recognition, full EU single market access and extensive double tax treaty network has lead to its development as a core jurisdiction for non-regulated investment structures. This has resulted in the domiciling of several tens of thousands of investment holding companies, many of which form part of globally recognised corporate groups or hold the portfolio investments of leading international investment funds.

    2013-06-27

    Le Luxembourg souhaite se doter de nouvelles procédures d’insolvabilité en raison d’une augmentation constante du nombre de faillites qui a désormais atteint un niveau record en dépassant le millier de faillites depuis 2012. Le gouvernement considère qu’en période de crise la mise en place d’un système approprié en matière d’entreprises en difficulté devient primordiale pour prévenir au mieux la faillite.

    Luxembourg insolvency law reform: New procedures to safeguard businesses more effectively
    2023-11-09

    On 1 November 2023, the new Luxembourg law of 7 August 2023 on the continuation of businesses and the modernisation of insolvency law (the “New Law”) entered into force. The New Law introduces new safeguard mechanisms designed to promote the continuity and preservation of businesses and the jobs that go with it. It provides for a mix of out-of-court and in-court procedures, including the option for a conciliator, the possibility of amicable agreements and judicial reorganisation procedures, and grants unfortunate but bona fide traders a second chance.
