The R3 Southern Forum 2026 is a premier event organized by R3, the Association of Business Recovery Professionals, in collaboration with Gatehouse Chambers. Scheduled for March 18, 2026, at The View Lincoln’s Inn Fields in London, this forum brings together professionals from the restructuring, turnaround, and insolvency sectors across the Southern & Thames Valley, South West & Wales, and London & South East regions.
This year's forum offers a comprehensive exploration of a corporate insolvency case, guiding delegates through the entire process—from early signs of financial distress to formal insolvency procedures and subsequent disputes. The program is designed to be highly interactive, featuring a live advocacy demonstration that includes the cross-examination of an insolvency practitioner in a court-style session.
Attendees will benefit from extensive networking opportunities throughout the day, including breaks, lunch, and a concluding drinks reception. An esteemed keynote speaker will also be featured, with details to be announced.
The forum is ideal for insolvency practitioners, restructuring specialists, legal advisors, valuation experts, and dispute resolution practitioners seeking to enhance their understanding of corporate insolvency processes and connect with peers in the industry.
