Overview

When an insolvency question arises, it is vital for clients to engage capable and experienced counsel to navigate the complex issues involved. The attorneys in BCLP’s Restructuring and Insolvency practice group are located and practice in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Middle East, and provide a range of business-advisory and crisis-management skills, including insightful and practical guidance to parties in situations where companies face the risks and implications of insolvency. Our team regularly advises on a wide range of financial, corporate, and real estate restructuring and insolvency matters, and with a particular focus on multi-jurisdictional, highly complex, and challenging cases. 

Members of our restructuring practice have long been known for their creative problem-solving abilities, responsiveness and networks with financial institutions, restructuring advisors, and other attorneys. The combination of these resources allows us to develop the most appropriate business solutions based upon our clients’ needs and goals. We have the ability and experience to resolve, promptly and cost-effectively, novel and difficult legal issues in restructurings, out-of-court loan workouts, Chapter 11 reorganizations, distressed sales, litigation matters and other insolvency proceedings. 

The breadth of our team’s experience allows us to address problems with an interdisciplinary approach. We also regularly draw upon the experience of other attorneys in our firm, including those focusing on antitrust, employee benefits, insurance, mergers and acquisitions, securities, tax and various litigation disciplines.

What happens If a UK university fails?

UK universities are facing mounting financial pressures from rising costs, constrained domestic tuition fee income and increased regulatory demands. As concerns about the sector's financial sustainability grow, questions are increasingly being asked about what would happen if a university became insolvent and whether the current legal and regulatory framework could manage such an outcome in an orderly way. In this three-part series, Richard Obank, Partner in BCLP's Restructuring & Insolvency practice, explores the challenges posed by a potential university failure, the limitations of the existing insolvency framework, and the lessons that higher education might draw from other regulated sectors.  Part 1 examines why university failure is no longer a theoretical concern, the consequences for students and other stakeholders, and the fragmented insolvency options available to institutions with different legal forms. It sets the context for the central question running through this series: is the present framework capable of delivering an orderly outcome if a university fails?
