The following session took place during the 2025 International European Insolvency Symposium in October 2025. This panel will examine the evolving landscape of third-party releases in insolvency proceedings, with a focus on their implications in chapter 15 cases. This panel of U.S. and international judges and practitioners will discuss parallel proceedings in jurisdictions including the U.S., U.K., Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, France and Luxembourg, highlighting the complexities that arise when third-party guarantees and releases intersect with cross-border recognition. The panelists also will address the aftermath of Purdue Pharma, explore the challenges of forum-shopping and enforcement across borders, and provide practical insights on navigating divergent legal frameworks. All sessions from this conference can be accessed at https://cle.abi.org/.
