Italian corporate insolvency and legal frameworks

Overview

In early October 2026, professional and academic conferences were held in Italy to address legal and economic frameworks. One event in Mazara del Vallo focused on the implementation of the Code of Business Crisis and Insolvency (CCII) to support business continuity and restructuring.

Subsequent data revealed a significant rise in corporate insolvency within the country. During the first quarter of 2026, judicial liquidations increased by 26% compared to the previous year, reaching 2,540 cases. Small business insolvency rose by 52%, while composition with creditors grew by 59%. Legal experts noted the importance of distinguishing between liquidity symptoms and underlying operational causes to avoid fraudulent bankruptcy classifications.

Further professional gatherings in October 2026 have continued to focus on crisis management. In Naples, the Order of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts held a conference regarding negotiated compositions. Matteo De Lise, president of the Naples Order, stated that accountants are “central to the recovery processes of companies facing economic difficulties,” serving as a link between businesses, the Revenue Agency, and the courts.

In mid-October, the fourth edition of the conference on ‘The New Law of Corporate Crisis’ took place in Fiuggi. Hosted by the Frosinone Bar Association, the Frosinone Order of Chartered Accountants, and the Frosinone Court, the event addressed corporate recovery, restructuring, and the new EU Insolvency Directive. Simultaneously, Naples hosted the National Assembly of the Organismo Congressuale Forense (OCF) to analyze justice sector challenges.

On October 23 and 24, a conference in Assisi organized by the Centro Studi Perusia and the Observatory on Corporate Crises will examine debt restructuring agreements. The event aims to analyze the relationship between Italian national legislation and European Union law, with sessions focusing on debt restructuring agreements (ADR) within the Crisis Code and the role of qualified creditors.
