This unique book provides readers with a concise yet rigorous outline of the English corporate insolvency framework as it is practised in domestic and cross-border cases. In doing so, this primer provides clear and accessible guidance on what is often considered to be a highly technical subject.Throughout the book, Eugenio Vaccari and Emilie Ghio demonstrate how to successfully navigate the uncharted waters of the significantly revised English corporate insolvency rules and procedures. Chapters answer foundational questions in insolvency law, such as: How are companies liquidated in England? How and why are they rescued and restructured? What happens when a company is liquidated or restructured, but has assets and creditors in England and abroad? The book also includes a comprehensive analysis of the sweeping and far-reaching changes to the regulatory framework introduced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.Providing a blend of accessible but detailed guidance and critical discussion, the hybrid nature of English Corporate Insolvency Law: A Primer will make the book an ideal companion for students, practitioners (especially new entrants to the profession) and researchers in the fields of company and insolvency law, both within England and internationally.

‘To simplify access to this world, but in an intelligent, yet comprehensive, way comes this primer, written by two young scholars in the field, whose publications have become increasingly noteworthy in the way they challenge orthodoxies and provide fresh insights into the objects of their research. This attention to detail and how best to inculcate an understanding of the subject prompts this work, whose content, in five parts, addresses the broad structure of the topic from an introduction to the field, liquidation and receivership, rescue procedures, directorial misconduct and the international dimension of procedures.’
