Interactive case study of a contentious high-value UK bankruptcy with multi-jurisdictional elements
2.00pm

FRP’s asset tracing workshop, delivered in conjunction with corporate intelligence firm Eminent Crisis Management Group Limited, is a light-hearted interactive case study of a contentious high-value UK bankruptcy with multi-jurisdictional elements which is designed as an introduction to investigation strategies and recovery considerations. 

The workshop will kick off with a brief reminder of a UK insolvency officeholder’s role, powers of investigations and the key recovery actions available before moving on to the interactive element. 

After a brief scene setting, participants will work in groups through a series of “case documents” to discuss angles of investigation, steps to identify and secure assets, and the use of specialist investigators. 

The workshop and the group discussions in particular are designed to get people networking and sharing war stories, ideas and experiences whilst exploring how one might go about recovering our fictitious bankrupt’s “misplaced” assets.

We will not be discussing the latest developments in the most esoteric technicalities in insolvency legislation, nor will we mention The Pandemic or the “C” word. 

We want to kick off the FIRE Starters Summit with a back-to-basics warm-up to get in the mood for a fantastic Next Gen conference and to get everyone to meet, greet and network in a relaxed atmosphere!
