Milbank Financial Restructuring partner Karen McMaster and associates Lynette Janssen, Sarah Levin and Matthew Fonti co-authored the England and Wales chapter in the recently released ninth edition of The Insolvency Review, published by The Law Reviews.
The Insolvency Review, Ninth Edition, provides in-depth information regarding current market conditions and insolvency case developments in a number of countries. In the England and Wales chapter, the authors address the key tools available under English law to restructure and/or wind down a company, including:
- The formal insolvency processes, including liquidation, administration and company voluntary arrangement (CVA)
- A stand-alone moratorium process, during which a financially distressed company can engage in negotiations with creditors or otherwise prepare for restructuring
- Schemes of arrangement and restructuring plans, which are two pre-insolvency restructuring tools that can be used to compromise or reschedule debt with agreement from a statutory majority of creditors
- Procedures for the recognition of foreign insolvency proceedings
