The session will explore the complex legal and fiduciary responsibilities faced by corporate directors in times of financial distress. It will address key issues such as directors’ filing duties, the increasing use of claw-back actions, and recent national and international legal developments shaping liability in insolvency scenarios.
Rachel will guide an interactive discussion centred on a practical case study designed to help a concerned director navigate a full-blown corporate crisis — from a board in disarray and defaulting payments to aggressive creditors and shareholders threatening legal action against a global construction group in deep financial distress.
Throughout this discussion, the panel will share practical strategies for compliance, risk mitigation and proactive decision-making, offering valuable guidance to directors seeking to protect stakeholders while safeguarding the company’s future.
