What INSO - Sekcja Prawa Upadłościowego i Restrukturyzacyjnego does

INSO – Sekcja Prawa Upadłościowego i Restrukturyzacyjnego Instytutu Allerhanda is a non-profit professional section established in 2010 within the Allerhand Institute foundation, headquartered in Kraków, Poland. The organization focuses on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of bankruptcy/restructuring law and economics, serving Polish restructuring advisors (doradcy restrukturyzacyjni), bankruptcy and restructuring court judges, attorneys, legal academics, and corporate managers of distressed assets. Its core offerings are the annual INSO Congress (the 17th edition held November 21, 2025 at Hotel Radisson Collection in Warsaw, drawing ~250+ attendees), periodic scientific conferences at Polish universities, a portfolio of position papers and reform analyses, and policy advocacy targeting the Civil Law Codification Commission and the Ministry of Justice. INSO also confers the Prof. Maurycy Allerhand Award for distinguished achievement combining law and economics, and maintains international cooperation with the European Insolvency Practitioners Association (EIPA).

The organization operates an event-driven go-to-market model with no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI capabilities — its "products" are intellectual events, publications, and policy advocacy. Distribution relies on physical congresses held in premium Warsaw venues, supplemented by a live-streaming service ("Transmisja"), a website publishing research and reform materials, and a LinkedIn profile for community updates. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but are implicitly derived from three streams: ticketed event admissions (including a paid gala dinner at Browar Warszawski), event sponsorships from restructuring advisory firms (Alerion, Tatara, MGW CCG, Hambura, KMS) and law firms (Infino Legal, CMS Law), and institutional support from the Allerhand Institute parent foundation, with government partnerships (Ministry of Development and Technology) signaling indirect public-sector funding access. The section operates with approximately 15 staff and a presidium leadership structure chaired by Piotr Stanisławiszyn.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• International Bar Association (IBA): Global organization for the legal profession with insolvency-related committees; not a specialist insolvency body but offers overlapping conferences, publications and policy work aimed at insolvency practitioners.
• INSOL International: Global federation of insolvency and restructuring practitioner associations; closely comparable to INSO in mission (advancing insolvency law and practice) but operating at worldwide scope rather than a single national jurisdiction.

Direct peers

• American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI): US-based multi-disciplinary membership organization for bankruptcy and insolvency professionals; operates annual conferences, publications and legislative advocacy analogous to INSO's annual Congress and reform work.
• R3 - Association of Business Recovery Professionals: UK trade body for insolvency, restructuring and turnaround professionals; directly comparable as a national professional society offering training, conferences and policy advocacy for restructuring practitioners.
• INSOL Europe: European association focused on insolvency law and practice, publishing research and organizing practitioner events; comparable to INSO's academic-practitioner forum model but at pan-European scale.
• European Insolvency Practitioners Association (EIPA): European-level association of insolvency practitioners; INSO already partners with EIPA and its Vice Chairman serves as Secretary General, making it a directly comparable practitioner body with overlapping membership.
• Turnaround Management Association (TMA): Global community of turnaround, restructuring and corporate renewal professionals; comparable event-driven, member-supported model and overlapping audience of restructuring advisors and corporate finance practitioners.
• Verband Deutscher Insolvenzverwalter (VID): German association of insolvency administrators; explicitly referenced in INSO's 2025 Congress program, indicating direct practitioner-level overlap and a like-for-like national professional society model.

Emerging players

• Practising Law Institute (PLI): Continuing legal education provider with deep bankruptcy/restructuring programming; comparable through its content, training and CLE delivery model that could substitute or complement INSO's publications and conferences.

Regional players

• Krajowa Izba Doradców Restrukturyzacyjnych: Statutory self-government chamber for licensed restructuring advisors in Poland; the closest Polish institutional counterpart to INSO, with overlapping membership and complementary (regulatory vs. academic) mandates.
