We are pleased to welcome the Insolvency Insider Future Leaders Conference 2026 to Goodmans on Thursday, October 29, 2026, bringing together emerging leaders from across the restructuring and insolvency community.
Goodmans Partner Brendan O’Neill will be speaking at the session, “How to Get Good at This: Lessons for Junior Insolvency Professionals” taking place from 11:15 AM - 12:00 PM EDT. Goodmans Partner Andrew Harmes will also serve as the moderator.
What separates a good junior restructuring professional from a great one? Experienced insolvency practitioners share the lessons they wish they had known earlier in their careers, including how to approach a new file, anticipate what senior team members need, communicate effectively, manage competing demands and earn the trust of clients and colleagues. The panel will cover the small habits that make a big difference, common mistakes to avoid and practical ways junior professionals can become indispensable members of a restructuring team.
Goodmans Associate Erik Axell will be speaking at the session, “Insolvency 101: Tools in the Insolvency Toolkit” taking place from 9:30 - 10:15 AM EDT.
Insolvency files can involve an intimidating mix of proceedings, remedies and terminology. This session will provide a practical introduction to the insolvency toolkit and explain how the different pieces fit together. When does a receivership make sense? Why might a secured creditor pursue a creditor-led CCAA proceeding? Where do proposals, bankruptcies and other restructuring tools fit? The panel will also break down concepts such as reverse vesting orders and other increasingly common features of insolvency proceedings, giving attendees a practical foundation for understanding the files they work on.
We look forward to welcoming attendees to Goodmans and to a great morning of conversation!
