Insolvency & Restructuring Committee
The Insolvency & Restructuring Committee (IRC) was formed in 1994 (formerly known as the Insolvency and Reconstruction Law Committee). The IRC is the peak legal body at the federal level for insolvency and restructuring and its members are many of Australia’s most respected and senior insolvency and restructuring lawyers.
The IRC regularly makes submissions in response to:
(a) Federal and state government inquiries;
(b) Proposed law reform; and
(c) Proposed changes to regulatory matters, which affect restructuring and insolvency.
The IRC has sub-committees which meet in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra on a monthly basis to consider current developments in insolvency and restructuring law. The IRC also holds an annual workshop where each state/territory sub-committee present on topical insolvency and restructuring issues.
