Spain
A victim of its own success? Spain Worked Out
GRR is happy to present the latest instalment in its Worked Out series, this time focusing on Spain - whose scheme mechanism in recent years has gained it a reputation as one of the 'best pupils' of international restructuring.
Spain Worked Out: Economic stability, political instability
When GRR visited Spain last June, it was nearly three months after its third general election in as many years – but still without a functioning government – with predictions of a fourth general election and further political instability abound.
Spain Worked Out: The highs and lows of homologation
Spain had no pre-petition restructuring tool until 2009. Its first attempt to create one was rather limited.

Spain Worked Out: Spain’s reforms wish list
A new, consolidated Insolvency Act and the forthcoming transposition of the European preventive frameworks directive offer opportunities for change in Spain. But Spanish practitioners have other issues on their wish lists for reform too, including specific tweaks to the legislation to clarify points of contention, and broader desires, such as better resourcing of the Spanish courts.
