appears to be considered an aggravating factor by the courts. The possible appointment of a provisional adminis - trator as part of judicial reorganisation proceedings and the associated loss of control of the management constitute a potential risk for debtors. This risk needs to be carefully assessed by considering the position of the debtor and its level of compliance with the various legal rules before applying for the opening of judicial reorganisation proceedings. Conclusion The Law of 7 August 2023 represents a significant milestone in Luxembourg’s evolution as a restructur - ing jurisdiction, offering long-awaited tools capable of reducing dependence on foreign jurisdictions. However, the framework remains at an early stage of development, and its full potential will depend on both legislative refinement and further judicial interpreta - tion. Complex cases involving bespoke restructuring arrangements will test the boundaries of the Law of 7 August 2023 and determine how flexibly it can accom - modate innovative solutions.
Although no formal amendment proposals have been introduced to date, it seems increasingly likely that the legislature will revisit the Law of 7 August 2023 in the future, a development that is highly awaited by market practitioners. Equally crucial will be how Luxembourg courts inter - pret and apply these restructuring tools in practice and how Luxembourg, as well as foreign courts, will approach recognition matters.
