Marc Bad­dams, Michael Hayter, Ger­ald Carides, Nick Dale, and Swaab’s Insol­ven­cy team would like to extend their thanks to our clients and friends who joined us for Swaab’s annu­al Insol­ven­cy & Financier Drinks.

It was fan­tas­tic to see so many famil­iar faces and con­nect with col­leagues across the indus­try. Once again, the fresh­ly shucked oys­ters were a stand­out, per­fect­ly paired with Lord Howe Island’s gin and a superb scotch tasting.

We appre­ci­ate your con­tin­ued sup­port and look for­ward to see­ing you again next year.
