Navigating unfair preference claims can be one of the most frustrating—and financially risky—challenges credit professionals face when a customer enters liquidation. In this practical and insightful session, legal experts from Turks will guide you through the latest case law, statutory defences, and practical tips to help you respond to unfair preference claims with greater confidence and success.


You’ll learn:

  • What constitutes an unfair preference under the Corporations Act
  • Key statutory defences available to unsecured creditors
  • How to leverage the “running account” and “no suspicion of insolvency” defences
  • Why relying on set-off is no longer an option—and what to do instead
  • How PPSR registration can transform your position from vulnerable to protected
  • Tips for handling payments during administration and from third parties

Whether you’re actively dealing with a claim or want to reduce future risk, this session will equip you with the tools to better protect your business and avoid costly clawbacks.

Who should attend:
Credit managers, finance professionals, legal counsel, and anyone responsible for managing trade credit or assessing customer insolvency risk.

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving attendees the chance to engage directly with Turks experts
