Introduction to Restructuring and Insolvency: Understanding the Fundamentals for Public Sector Organisations - DWF

In an increasingly challenging economic environment, understanding the basics of restructuring and insolvency is essential for public sector organisations, commissioners, procurement teams and contract managers.

This introductory webinar will provide a practical overview of the UK insolvency framework, explaining the key restructuring and insolvency processes, when organisations are deemed (or are at risk of becoming) insolvent, and the implications for customers, suppliers and stakeholders. Our experts will explore the warning signs of financial distress, the duties of directors as financial pressures increase, and the options available to businesses facing financial difficulty.

Designed for professionals with limited insolvency experience, this session will equip attendees with the knowledge needed to identify risks early, understand common insolvency procedures, and respond effectively when financial difficulties arise within their supply chain or stakeholder network.
