Originally part of a 18-jurisdiction Country Comparative Guide by The Legal 500, this Q&A chapter on Restructuring & Insolvency in Canada has been republished with permission.
The Legal 500: Restructuring & Insolvency Country Comparative Guide offers its readers with a pragmatic overview of the law and practice of restructuring & insolvency law across a variety of jurisdictions. Each chapter of this guide provides information about the current issues affecting restructuring & insolvency in a particular country and addresses topics such as security & enforcement, local insolvency proceedings, local restructuring proceedings, existing contracts, liabilities of directors, foreign debtors as well as insight and opinion on reform proposals and challenges faced in their respective country.
Gowling WLG lawyers Cliff Prophet, David F. W. Cohen, Genevieve Cloutier, Thomas Gertner, Kate Yurkovich and Patrick Cajvan are once again the contributing authors for "Canada: Restructuring & Insolvency."
