    EU Directive on Insolvency, Restructuring and Second Chance
    2019-12-05

    What is the preventive restructuring framework and what are its key features?

    Where there is a likelihood of insolvency (but importantly where the debtor is not yet insolvent as defined by national law), Member States must provide debtors with access to a preventive restructuring framework that enables them to restructure, with a view to preventing insolvency and ensuring their viability.

    Business Support and Insolvency Autumn round up
    2019-12-10

    Four months on from our inaugural newsletter – and where do we start??

    Brexit - Has Your Business Planned for Running Low on Oxygen?
    2019-08-29

    Less than an hour after an oxygen tank exploded on Apollo 13, mission control told the crew to isolate a small tank, containing 3.9 pounds of oxygen.[1] Days later, that tank provided the oxygen to keep the crew alive while landing back on Earth.

    If they had left that tank for even another hour the oxygen in it would have been almost gone.
