About the seminar

Why should you attend?
Insolvency law is relevant to virtually all aspects of commercial activity because of the potential for both personal and corporate indebtedness to arise, especially in the present economic climate. You may be affected either as the debtor (the indebted party) or as the creditor (in trying to recover payment from a debtor). We have seen, in recent times, the impact that insolvencies - large and small - can have on shareholders, employees, creditors and the community.
This Programme is a two-day course that will provide an introduction to the legal aspects of insolvency covering practical insights into the legal issues, considerations and pitfalls to be aware of during an insolvency process. You will understand your basic legal rights and liabilities, both as a debtor and a creditor.
The topics to be covered relate to both personal and corporate insolvency.
Key Topics
Legal aspects of the roles, rights and obligations of administrators (in bankruptcy) and receivers, judicial managers and liquidators (in corporate insolvency).
