Well, nobody told me that: the practical implications of insolvency – phoenix claims, disqualification and compensation orders

We are pleased to announce our final session of Serle Court’s Morning Brief: Insolvency Insights — a series of breakfast seminars led by our insolvency experts. On Thursday, 16 April, Giselle McGowan and Lara Kuehl, chaired by Lance Ashworth KC, will present "Well, nobody told me that: the practical implications of insolvency – phoenix claims, disqualification and compensation orders."

Former directors frequently complain that they were never warned of the possible personal repercussions which they might face as a consequence of placing a company into liquidation.

Giselle and Lara will conduct a whistle-stop tour of commonly overlooked ramifications of liquidation that solicitors and insolvency practitioners should warn company directors about, including:

  • Director Disqualification – the requirements and the allegations typically pursued by the Secretary of State
  • Compensation Orders – the conditions for and purpose behind such orders
  • Phoenix Companies – when a director’s personal liability for a “phoenix” company arises and excepted cases

To sign up for the session above, please use the 'book your space' button below. If you have a colleague who would like to attend, don't hesitate to get in touch with our BD & Marketing team via email.
