Contentious Insolvency and Creditors Forum 2024

NATIONAL EVENT - Join us for the 2024 Contentious Insolvency and Creditors Forum, as we bring together the community of contentious insolvency and restructuring practitioners. Registrations open now!

R3 are excited to launch the 2024 Contentious Insolvency and Creditors Forum, taking place on the 4th of July in London.

The aim of the 1-day conference is to discuss various issues relevant to creditors and those who practice contentious insolvency and asset recovery. It will also consider contentious aspects of the restructuring process including issues arising out of cross border proceedings.

This Forum has been developed for practitioners with an interest or substantial practice in contentious aspects of insolvency and restructuring with the aim of bringing together the community of practitioners, solicitors, barristers, institutional creditors, non-performing loan funds, e-discovery specialists, investigators and litigation funders to network and hear the latest updates in the profession.  

The 2024 programme includes sessions on: 

  • Welcome & keynote (Zacaroli J)
  • TUVs/s.423 claims in light of Invest Bank v El Husseini
  • Handling conflicts and dealing with creditor concerns
  • Evidence gathering
