At UEMF, the 4th edition of the Fès Restructuring Days brings together the major voices of the sector

The Euromed University of Fes (UEMF) hosted, on May 21 and 22, the 4th edition of the Restructuring Days of Fez, an event now recognized as a major forum for reflection on developments in insolvency law and contemporary restructuring mechanisms.

At the end of this edition, participant feedback confirmed the growing interest generated by this event, which continues to develop as a privileged exchange space for professionals, practitioners and academics specializing in restructuring.

Organized by the Euromed University of Fes in partnership with the Sorbonne Law School, these Days brought together more than 300 participants from Europe and Africa. Judges, lawyers, insolvency practitioners, company executives, chartered accountants, researchers, doctoral students, students and sector specialists took part in two days of reflection devoted to the changes that are redefining today the practices for dealing with distressed companies.

Under the scientific direction of Professor François-Xavier Lucas, this edition gathered several recognized figures from the legal and judicial world, offering a setting conducive to the confrontation of experiences and dialogue between different national and international approaches.

The discussions addressed several structuring themes related to recent sector developments, notably cross-border restructurings, new European mechanisms, frameworks for dealing with corporate distress, governance issues as well as the responsibilities of the various actors involved in the procedures. Exchanges also covered prevention mechanisms, accelerated restructuring tools and confidentiality issues in conducting these processes.

Over successive editions, the Restructuring Days of Fez have gradually established themselves as a space for reflection, transmission and dialogue between academic expertise and professional practice. They now help to strengthen the bridges between Moroccan, European and African legal systems, while supporting reflection on contemporary challenges related to economic resilience and the evolution of legal frameworks.

Beyond the scientific content, participants particularly praised the quality of the exchanges and the pragmatic approach adopted during the various discussion sessions. In an atmosphere marked by the richness of the debates and the diversity of the profiles gathered, this fourth edition once again confirmed Fez’s growing place among Francophone forums dedicated to restructuring issues.

Through this initiative, UEMF reaffirms its commitment to academic excellence, international openness and the creation of spaces for dialogue around the major transformations of the contemporary legal and economic world.
