Conference delegates will hear from an experienced panel of international insolvency experts about the benefits and challenges of distressed M&A transactions, developments across jurisdictions and predictions for where the market is headed, including:

• understanding and designing stalking-horse and competitive bidding processes;

• choosing the right structure – share deals versus asset deals;

• mechanisms to transfer assets, contracts and other property, while minimising trailing liabilities;

• pre-packs: advantages/disadvantages of sales inside versus outside of an insolvency proceeding; and

• diligence and opportunities to implement operational changes as part of the transaction
