What this session will cover

A panel featuring practitioners involved in a number of the most significant restructuring plans in recent years, who will discuss recent decisions, key emerging themes and give their perspective on the key factors that drive success.

A broad ranging and interactive panel discussion on key strategic issues when dealing with a contested restructuring plan, such as the need for:

  • robust case management, with disputed issues identified early in proceedings;
  • determining the most likely relevant alternative;
  • expert evidence which addresses the competing demands of expedited timetables and CPR 35 compliance;
  • managing parallel contested processes;
  • due consideration of settlement offers / options;
  • understanding the impact / risk of appeals; and
  • other factors which will drive success in securing or challenging restructuring plans.
