Course Description

When a business enters financial distress, transactions that once seemed routine can come under intense scrutiny. For directors and business leaders, understanding these risks is not just technical, it’s critical to protecting both the organisation and personal liability.

In this engaging dialogue-style session, legal and financial investigation experts come together to unpack the complex world of voidable transactions through a practical, real-world lens. You’ll gain clarity on how transactions can be challenged, what triggers regulatory and legal action, and how directors should respond when financial stability is in question.

From identifying red flags in counterparties to navigating your duties as a director across different stages of financial health, this session equips you with the insights needed to act decisively and responsibly. A real case study ties it all together, illustrating how these principles play out in practice, and what you can do to stay on the right side of the law.

What you’ll gain:

  • A clear understanding of voidable transactions and how they arise
  • Practical guidance on directors’ duties across solvency and insolvency scenarios
  • Tools to identify and manage risks when dealing with distressed counterparties
  • Insights into cashflow insolvency tests and financial warning signs
  • Lessons from real case law to help safeguard your organisation and yourself
