A Practical Guide to Examinership

Examinership is the formal legal process used in both Ireland and Cyprus to rescue struggling but viable companies from collapse, with a court-sanctioned 'scheme of arrangement'. However, examinership is widely underused when compared with other insolvency prcoedures, such as receivership or liquidation. This book aims to address the lack of knowledge that persists regarding this rescue process among the business community.

A 'going concern' outcome inevitably preserves value and lessens the damage caused by business failure. The vast majority of companies that have entered examinership have emerged successfully and many thousands of jobs have been saved.

A Practical Guide to Examinership is a detailed analysis of all aspects of the examinership process, comprehensively referencing legislation and providing many illustrative examples and accounts of real-life examinership cases. Written and presented in a clear and accessible style, this book has a practical focus and will be an invaluable reference for accountancy and legal practitioners, financial institutions and business owners.
