We’re pleased to invite you to a joint IFT and R3 event in Birmingham on 8th November, from 17:45-20:00.
Restructuring Issues
As the Midlands emerges from the pandemic and faces the headwinds of inflation and repayment of support, there are considerable challenges facing stakeholders and advisors over the coming years. A panel of TE’s, funders, lawyers and IP’s will undertake an interactive discussion around the key issues facing the community including;
Restructuring skillsets that may be required, how restructuring and Insolvency may interact, diversity and inclusion and changes to regulation and risk.
The panel includes:
HMRC as Stakeholder
The position of HMRC as a key stakeholder in middle market restructurings is likely to become increasingly important over the coming period in areas around Time to Pay, HMRC Winding Up Petitions and approach. We will be joined by tax specialists who will provide up to date views on HMRC’s position in restructurings and how they may impact on any future restructuring strategies.
This will be a discussion with a Caroline Sumner of R3 and Jim Morrison of HMRC
The programme for the evening will be:
5:45pm – Coffee/Networking
6:10pm – Presentations
7.00pm – Networking over food & drinks
We look forward to seeing a great mix of Independent and Corporate members from both the IFT and R3 on the night.
