ILA Associates’ Network

About the Network

The ILA Associates’ Network (the Network) was launched in 2010 in order to promote the benefits of associate membership of the ILA. The Network is open to junior barristers, solicitors and in-house counsel who are active in this fast-developing practice area and provides an ideal forum for associate members to build their contacts across the industry. It is the only forum of its kind dedicated exclusively to junior lawyers in the restructuring and insolvency profession. You can read more about our membership here.

Events

The Associates’ Network committee arrange seminars that are open to all junior practitioners whether or not they are members of the ILA.

The most recent webinar  “The Recognition of insolvency proceedings and restructuring tools post-BREXIT: a view from the UK, Netherlands and Germany” considered the loss of automatic recognition, following the end of the BREXIT transition period, with respect to:

1. formal insolvency proceedings (as a result of the EU Insolvency Regulation ceasing to apply to the UK); and
2. certain restructuring tools, principally the scheme of arrangement and restructuring plan (as a result of the Brussels Recast Regulation on civil judgments ceasing to apply to the UK).

The next seminar  or webinar will take place in early 2022.

Information relating to future events and initiatives organised by the Network will be posted on this website.
