About the Webinar

Since 2017, directors of companies facing insolvency, but who were proactively taking steps to restructure, could seek to rely on an additional safe harbour defence against claims that they should made personally liable. The safe harbour legislation was recently reviewed. This, coupled with the lack of significant judgements in this area, has made it difficult for practitioners to determine how these provisions should be applied in practice and what is best practice. This session features a panel of experienced insolvency lawyers who will discuss and share their respective insights into:

  • The issues raised by the profession during the Review’s consultation and what may lie ahead in this area
  • What best practice might look like and steps lawyers could take to achieve this
  • Practical guidance for managing issues arising from safe harbour including how to qualify for safe harbour and proof required
  • Case studies
