The UK restructuring system has continued to evolve to meet the needs of businesses and to maintain the UK’s position as a leading jurisdiction for the restructuring of global enterprises. The strength of the UK judicial system and the perceived predictability of restructuring outcomes remain key factors attracting international businesses.
The panellists will discuss the availability and advantages of UK restructuring tools for international businesses, compared with options in other jurisdictions. The discussion will focus on restructuring plans, schemes of arrangement and company voluntary arrangements, and will explore how non-UK businesses can access and implement these tools with careful planning and support from UK restructuring professionals with a cross-border mindset.
Following the recent Court of Appeal decision in Petrofac, the panellists will consider whether it is time to revisit the experience gained from transfer schemes that were widely used in earlier cases—such as Wind Hellas—and whether these approaches could offer clients forward looking and cost-effective restructuring solutions.
In this context, the panel will also examine whether liability management exercises (LMEs) currently achieve their intended purpose and in what circumstances they should be considered in European restructuring transactions.
The event will take place on the First floor and Breakfast will be served.
