Brexit is a hugely significant subject for R&I lawyers due to the largely reciprocal nature of our relationship with Europe. Our Brexit content provides key information and updates for all practitioners as well as legislation trackers. All the relevant content is then collated in our Brexit toolkit for ease of reference.
Includes new legislation introduced in response to the coronavirus pandemic which contains a mixture of temporary and permanent changes to R&I law. Temporary provisions centre around winding-up petitions, wrongful trading and ipso facto clauses, while permanent changes include the creation of two new corporate insolvency processes—restructuring plans and the moratorim.
Includes country guides for 45 jurisdictions dealing with Restructuring & Insolvency. The majority of these guides are from the Getting the Deal Through series. Where there are jurisdictional gaps, we have commissioned content to fill the gap. We also have created several comparison tables showing how key issues are treated in different jurisdictions.
It’s the only online resource that brings everything you need together, in one place: guidance, research, smart forms and time-saving tools. Our clear, concise practice notes give you an expert view in a few pages – the legal position, with a commercial slant. And direct links to all the relevant forms and research you’ll need, from leading sources like Tolley’s Insolvency Law, Mithani on Directors’ Disqualification and Halsbury’s Annotated Guide to Insolvency Legislation and Practice (plus Getting the Deal Through® for help with EU and US cases, and the US Bankruptcy Code).
LexisPSL R&I also comes with checklists – quick references to keep you on track. Calculators (like our unique Matrimonial Calculator for personal insolvency cases) that can save you hours, if not days of research and calculations. News updates, to keep you in the loop. And smart forms that take a fraction of the time to fill in.
