Insolvency & Law

Post lockdown, many directors will attempt to rescue their companies using statutory insolvency procedures, most likely administration or a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) because both offer excellent restructuring opportunities. Whereas CVAs are suitable for insolvent companies with sympathetic creditors; a pre pack administration is more convenient for profitable but insolvent companies that have lost the support of their creditors. 

Topics covered:

  • Company voluntary arrangements (CVAs)
  • Pre pack administrations
  • Hiring an insolvency practitioner (IP)

Duration 25 minutes
