   Introduction to the new Safe Harbour Legislation
  

  Amendments to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in Sep 2017 resulted in extra protection for company directors from personal liability for trading while insolvent. The “safe harbour” is designed to enable company restructures outside of the formal insolvency process, subject to specific conditions.

  The briefing will provide an introduction to the “safe harbour” covering aspects of the conditions when it can be exercised, best practice and the compliance requirements. A comparison will be provided on the options available to Directors before and after the introduction of the Safe Harbour legislation.

  Our presenter brings years of practical experience in assisting companies in distress and has included working with boards and directors in business restructuring, business turnarounds and voluntary administration. When a business is struggling with growth or in financial distress, a change in thinking and strategy is often required.
