Commercial Awareness Compass #41 | Insolvency in retreat: the numbers behind England and Wales’ surprise drop

Featuring:

17:00-17:30

Wednesday 17th September

An Expert Lawyer & Future Trainee Host

Company insolvencies in England and Wales have taken an unexpected dip. In June 2025, the Insolvency Service recorded 2,043 cases, 8% lower than May and 16% lower than the same month last year. For a country still grappling with rising costs and fragile supply chains, the fall is striking.
Yet one month of data does not guarantee a trend.

In this episode we discuss whether companies are genuinely becoming more resilient, or simply delaying the inevitable. Which industries remain most at risk, and how lawyers can advise clients to protect themselves from sudden shocks.
