Safe harbour review

The introduction in September 2017 of a ‘safe harbour’ for directors from personal liability for insolvent trading is viewed as one of the most significant reforms in the Australian insolvency landscape in decades.

Insolvency professionals and the business community held great optimism that the introduction of the reforms would promote confidence among directors to fully explore options outside of formal insolvency proceedings as they came to understand the impact of the reforms on their duties as officers of a company.

Some eight months after the reforms came into effect, we pause to reflect on what impact we have seen since the introduction of the ‘safe harbour’.

Tim Klineberg, Partner, King & Wood Mallesons, and Michael Fung, Partner at PwC, will discuss the aims of the reforms and how in reality the reforms have impacted the decision-making of directors at a time of financial crisis for a company. 

Our speakers will also look to the future and discuss how the reforms will guide the decisions of directors and management going forward.
