Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020: An Introduction

This webinar summarises changes brought about by the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 and their application by the insolvency profession.

Description

The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (“the Act”) came into effect on 26 June 2020, being the UK Government’s response to the impact of coronavirus on business.

The Act provides for temporary changes to the corporate insolvency regime, but more importantly, introduces permanent new solutions for businesses facing financial difficulty.  There is a new moratorium procedure, for use pre-CVA or as a standalone opportunity for a company to rectify its financial position, and a new reconstruction process, similar in approach to existing s26 Schemes of Arrangement, but designed specifically for companies in financial difficulty. 

In this webinar we will summarise the changes and how they might be applied by the profession.

Recorded 17 July 2020
