Description
Insolvencies often create difficult challenges for employment lawyers, in particular, the tension between fast closure and trying to sell parts of a business is an ongoing concern. Often employment laws actually threaten jobs rather than protect them. This session examines the strategic issues inherent in a significant insolvency from the perspective of several jurisdictions, and will be useful for both employment lawyers and insolvency practitioners.
