We were pleased to hold our third and final FIRE event of 2019, which took place in October at The Crypt in London.
FIRE is a series of networking, knowledge share events and communications for professionals in the funding, insolvency, restructuring and private equity professions.
Apart from the usual networking, we heard from two renowned speakers, Marcia Shekerdemian QC and Jack Watson of Wilberforce Chambers, who provided an insight into trends in shareholder remedies for private equity and office holders, pre and post insolvency.
FIRE is sponsored by Debenhams Ottaway, a leading Hertfordshire law firm known for its expertise in private wealth and private enterprise. Debenhams Ottaway works with a number of funders, insolvency practitioners and private equity houses to investigate potential routes of recovery, with a view to maximising profit in a business investment or recoveries into an insolvent estate.
