Perspectives on international insolvency law

"'Perspectives on international insolvency law : a tribute to Bob Wessels' is first of all what it says it is: a Festschrift to commemorate Professor Bob Wessels' retirement from his chair on International Insolvency Law at Leiden Law School, Leiden University, the Netherlands. Bob joined Leiden University in 2007. At the time he took with him more than thirty years of experience in professional practice and in academic research and education. In professional practice he was a partner of the Legal Services group Ernst & Young Tax Advisors and their alliance partner Holland van Gijzen Attorneys and Civil Law Notaries. He also was a professor of Civil and Commercial Law at his alma mater, Vrije University Amsterdam. At Leiden University Bob created a center of expertise of International Insolvency Law. He raised funds and encouraged young researchers to unravel the mysteries of international insolvency law, theory and jurisprudence. By sharing his expertise with young people and with experienced judges, attorneys and researchers Bob multiplied the knowledge of international insolvency law."--Back cover.
