The DLA Piper Restructuring Law Podcast

Our International Restructuring team recently welcomed three incredible female partners to our cohort, who each bring a wealth of expertise and a unique perspective to the firm. We invited them to join us on the podcast for a special two-part episode, to discuss their experiences and views on diversity and inclusion within the restructuring marketplace, as well as consider what’s on the horizon for women working in the legal profession. In part two, Roya Panahi welcomes back our new partners, Sarah Letson, Pippa Hill and Trinh Hoang, to focus on ‘making the conscious decision to progress and the challenge of carving out space for a different kind of partner’. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The challenges triggered by the pandemic led to global supply chain disruption. Subsequent financial and geo-political upheaval resulted in, amongst others, high energy costs and rising inflation labour costs. A recipe for disruption in any sector, but particularly the automotive sector, which has been experiencing fundamental change. With a sharpened focus on environmental impacts at both consumer and governance levels, coupled with a drive towards adopting new technologies, those operating in the automotive market continue to endure turbulent times. In this episode, DLA Piper partner Huw Dolphin sits down with our Automotive Sector Lead Sylvia Ebersberger, fellow Restructuring Partner Chris Roberts, and turnaround consultant and sector specialist from Special Situations Group Limited, Andrew Burn.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the UK Government’s first Covid 19-related interventions, in order to limit the harsh effect of lockdown on businesses, was to protect tenants from action by landlords to recover rent arrears. It was apparent that at some point the problem of the accrued debt had to be tackled, and in early 2022 the Government’s proposed answer to this issue, the Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill is expected to be considered by Parliament. James Davison, a partner in our Restructuring team, talks to Huw Dolphin about the Bill, his own interest in sectors affected by this issue and his insights for 2022.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
