objective

Insolvency Law Academy (ILA) is an institute of excellence in insolvency. One of the hallmarks of ILA is to develop a community in pursuit of education, research and scholarship in the field of insolvency. ILA has taken a number of initiatives to promote this objective. The Insolvency Scholars Forum was established in the year 2022, to bring together such a community, and build a formidable cadre of insolvency scholars.

To systematically develop and mentor young scholars in insolvency, ILA has set up in the year 2023, the Emerging Scholars Group (ESG) – a platform to bring together early career academics and young professionals from around the world.

The ILAThinkFactory is another initiative to gather a community of scholars, academics and thinkers to participate in global discourse by contributing articles and blogs, on approaches to national and international laws and practices.
