The Annual Review of Insolvency Law (ARIL) is a premier conference dedicated to the latest developments and trends in insolvency law. Organized by the Canadian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (CAIRP), this event brings together leading experts, practitioners, and academics to discuss and analyze critical issues affecting the insolvency landscape.
The 2026 ARIL Conference, held on February 6, 2026, at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto, Ontario, featured a comprehensive agenda covering a range of pertinent topics. Key sessions included discussions on good faith in insolvency proceedings, challenges posed by bad faith stakeholders in consumer insolvencies, strategies for funding investigations into Ponzi schemes, and the evolving role of receiverships as alternatives to foreclosure.
Attendees had the opportunity to engage in networking sessions, participate in panel discussions led by esteemed judges and industry leaders, and access a variety of conference materials. The event also offered Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits for legal professionals, with specific accreditation details varying by province.
The ARIL Conference is essential for insolvency professionals, legal practitioners, and academics seeking to stay abreast of the latest developments in insolvency law. It provides a platform for knowledge exchange, professional development, and networking within the insolvency and restructuring community.
