About the Webinar

The insolvency of a party to a construction project is unfortunately becoming more commonplace. The construction industry continues to face challenges arising from the fixed price contract model, costs of materials and energy, interest rates, supply chain disruptions and the costs and availability of skilled labour. This session will explore how to deal with insolvency of a party on a construction project, including:

  • An overview of corporate insolvency law, practice and procedure in a construction context
  • How insolvency impacts the different levels of the contractual train differently, from the principal down to sub-contractors (and everyone in between)
  • Risk minimisation strategies at various stages of a project
  • Practical options to consider when acting for a party in a construction project where another party is, or at risk of being, insolvent
  • What to consider when builders or contractors ask for financial assistance without a contractual entitlement
