Corporate Insolvency
About this event
Help! Our trading partner is insolvent.
When an important trading partner becomes insolvent, it usually becomes the immediate priority for the in-house Counsel to navigate the next steps. Time is critical and initial decisions are often needed within hours, rather than days.
There are, of course, a myriad of factors to consider, some commercial and some legal. The legal issues are complex, particularly since 2020 when new laws materially changed insolvency rights.
What’s your next step?
This session is here to help you manage this high-pressure area and provide some top tips for navigating the complexities of business insolvencies.
This session will be led by Edward Crossley, Barrister, 4 Stone Building.
Date: Wednesday 25th June 2025
Time: 10:00 – 11:00 BST
Format: Virtual event
