    Buying and Selling Insolvent Companies and Businesses in Ireland explores all elements of the purchase and sale of an insolvent company or business, including the practical, legal and financial considerations. This comprehensive book, written as a practitioners’ handbook and guide, provides a clear and practical insight into the issues that arise when a target business is insolvent and offers advice on how to deal with them.

    Fully up-to-date with relevant legislation and the latest Companies Acts, the title highlights the more unusual matters a practitioner may encounter during a transaction, such as hive-down of a section of the business, creditors’ claims, employees’ claims, pensions and pension fund insolvencies, tax, goodwill, asset transfers, carry-over of business name and stakeholder roles. This is also the 1st publication to deal with the impact of the Personal Insolvency Act, 2012, the Pensions Insolvency Pension Scheme (‘PIPS’), and the recent European Court decision regarding Waterford Crystal workers’ pension rights.
