Construction Cafe: Insolvency

Insolvency — it’s a hot topic in the news just now, with little doubt the compulsory liquidation of construction giant Carillion will have a wide-ranging impact on our sector.

But, as someone involved in the construction industry, how much do you know about the process of insolvency, and what happens if you’re owed money by a company that’s called in liquidators or administrators?

In short — how can you minimise the risk to your own organisation and its workforce?

Our construction café opens its doors again on 2 March, and joining us are Gordon MacLure and Carol James from Johnston Carmichael’s restructuring team, with Tim Thomas from our own insolvency practice.

This session will cover —

• What insolvency procedures involve
• How formal insolvency procedures fit with a creditor’s approach to credit control and debt collection
• What happens if one of your customers goes insolvent before you take action?

Refreshments are provided, and these free café events are a great networking opportunity.

Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
