The following session took place during the ABI-Live Webinar in September 2026. Chapter 15 bankruptcy cases are designed to deal with cases of cross-border insolvency offering recognition of a foreign proceeding and other relief to a foreign representative. The Bankruptcy Court’s recognition of a foreign proceeding provides powerful tools making Chapter 15 an important cross-border insolvency strategy. There are certain pre-filing considerations, however, that must be taken into account in order to obtain Chapter 15 recognition. This panel will discuss the requirements for the petitioning debtor to obtain Chapter 15 recognition, including an in-depth look at the pre-filing issues related to the debtor’s “center of main interests” (COMI) for foreign main proceedings and foreign nonmain proceedings including recent case law developments.
