The following session took place during the 2025 International European Insolvency Symposium in October 2025. This session will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital-asset recovery in cross-border bankruptcy proceedings. The panelists will examine the challenges in making recoveries when digital-asset businesses are the subject of fraud or hacking activity, and discuss how AI-powered tools are revolutionizing asset-tracing, evidence-gathering and recovery processes. They also will cover the practical challenges insolvency professionals face when appointed over businesses in this sector, especially when there is a parallel criminal investigation and/or prosecution, and ways in which practitioners can navigate that landscape to achieve the best outcomes for stakeholders by drawing on real-life examples of cases in which the panelists have been involved.
