The seminar is aimed both at those who practise in insolvency law and those who practise in employment law. It will consider some of the main issues which arise when a business ceases to trade including:

The rights of and liabilities to the workforce of an insolvent employer:
- The employment status of the workforce and what differences this might make.
- The different types of insolvency (administration, voluntary/compulsory liquidation) and the obligations of the employer/the IP towards employees.

Consultation under TULRCA and TUPE 2006 in the context of insolvent employers:
- Who needs to consult? With whom and when? What does “consultation” mean in this context?
- What are the liabilities associated with inadequate consultation at the various stages and on whom do they fall?
