This is an online event organised by CIArb’s East Anglia branch to discuss key changes in corporate insolvency law under the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020. The talk will be presented by Jamie Wheatley and Morgan Bowen.

The talk will offer a timely reminder of the following:

• The main pre-existing corporate insolvency procedures 
• The temporary provisions arising from the COVID-19 crisis
• The permanent changes in the following areas: 
  • The new statutory moratorium process
  • The new restructuring plan procedure
  • The provisions invalidating clauses terminating contracts for insolvency

The speakers will explain the salient points in the Act and discuss their importance and relevance in today’s challenging environment. This is a prerequisite to those involved in insolvency work and other stakeholders.

Morgan is a Senior Associate in the London office of Mills & Reeve’s Restructuring and Insolvency group. He has over thirteen years’ experience advising stakeholders at all stages of the decline curve.
