EQUITY acted as the General Partner of the Fourth Restructuring and Bankruptcy Forum

On April 17, 2019, the Fourth Restructuring and Bankruptcy Forum was held, and EQUITY traditionally acted as the general partner. 

Oleg Malinevsky, an EQUITY partner, delivered the welcome speech and set the tone of the first session “ The Institute of Insolvency: the New Legal Reality”.    

During the discussion, еру experts highlighted their TOP-3 expectations from the new Code of Bankruptcy Procedures - the institute of bankruptcy of individuals, the creation of SRO arbitration managers and reduction of access to bankruptcy procedures. "The bankruptcy procedure has become closer to every businessman. And this applies not only to the fact of signing the Code of Bankruptcy Procedures, but also the removal of barriers prior to the commencement of procedures laid down in it " , - summed up the partner.  

Dmytro Tylipsky, an attorney and EQUITY senior associate, joined the discussion of bankruptcy of legal entities in the third session of the forum. Dmytro spoke about the nuances of the secured creditors’ rights and, using examples from his own practice, analyzed changes to the rules of the game and their consequences. At the last session of the Forum, Oleksiy Stepanenko, an attorney and EQUITY senior associate, spoke about the reasons for insolvency of state-owned enterprises, the problems of enforcement of court decisions and collection of money from the SE . "Protecting the rights of the state is important, but it is equally important that all participants comply with the rules of the game set by the state ," said the attorney.
