Rising labour costs, increasing business rates, changing consumer behaviour and sustained inflation are placing significant pressure on the UK retail, hospitality and leisure sectors.
In this practical and commercially focused webinar, our specialists in employment law, insolvency and restructuring, and property litigation examine the legal tools available to businesses and landlords navigating financial distress.
The session covers early warning signs of insolvency, director duties, standstill agreements, Time to Pay arrangements with HMRC, standalone moratoriums, company voluntary arrangements (CVAs), restructuring plans under Part 26A, pre-pack administrations, landlord enforcement options, and redundancy compliance — including upcoming reforms under the Employment Rights Act 2025.
