Practice Notes
Practice notes are concise, practical explanations of the law and practice of a particular topic. For experienced lawyers, they provide up-to-date and reliable statements of law and practice. Junior lawyers will use them to gain an understanding of relevant areas not yet acquired through practice. The notes may also be used as the basis for in-house training sessions.
Practice notes are kept up-to-date by our specialist and experienced Restructuring and Insolvency professional support team whenever the relevant law and practice changes.
Standard documents and drafting notes
The service includes standard documents and case studies for restructuring and insolvency transactions and procedures. The standard documents are accompanied by drafting notes which give detailed guidance on the relevant legal, drafting and negotiating issues.
The standard documents and drafting notes are continually maintained by our professional support team as the relevant law and practice change.
The standard documents are available in Microsoft Word 6.0 format. They include logical styles and automated numbering, tables of contents and cross-referencing (see How do I use the PLC Word template?
PLC has developed an application allowing PLC standard documents to be downloaded in a firm's style, saving substantial time for fee-earners and secretaries. For more information, see PLC Firmstyle.
