A DIP of the toe into US Chapter 11 waters for Australia

On Demand

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg today heralded “the most significant reforms to Australia’s insolvency framework in 30 years”. The reforms will draw on debtor-in-possession principles including those found in Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. The new laws are intended to help small businesses restructure and survive the economic impact of COVID-19 or to wind down their operations in an orderly manner.

Norton Rose Fulbright invites you to a special briefing with our restructuring and insolvency team to discuss key elements of the reforms and what they will mean for stakeholders in Australian restructurings. Everyone will be affected:

Banks and other financial institutions
Secured creditors
Employees
Landlords
Revenue authorities
Insolvency practitioners
