Thursday 22nd September 2005
at 222 Gray's Inn Road, London WC1X 8XF

SJ Berwin LLP has pleasure in inviting you to a Breakfast Seminar.

The House of Lords decisions in Spectrum and Leyland Daf force a re-examination of the past treatment of assets in insolvencies by insolvency practitioners and banks. How are you to respond?

We run 6 workshop seminars a year covering topical issues directed at HR specialists, publish a monthly bulletin giving up-to-the minute reports on new cases, legislation and advance warning of likely developments and also offer on-site bespoke training to clients. We act for employers, senior executives, and pension scheme trustees. Clients include large plcs, smaller companies, educational establishments, charities, partnerships and occupational pension schemes.

Background
House of Lords decisions in Spectrum and Leyland Daf have reordered the priority of claims on assets in insolvencies. The decisions will apply to all past and future cases and create issues about the historic treatment of assets and future conduct of insolvencies. The seminar will be relevant to anyone who is involved in negotiating bank debt and those involved at various stages in the insolvency process.
