Ginette Muller
Seasoned Director Liability and Turnaround Practitioner
"When Close Enough Isn't Good Enough"
Ginette has 30+ years of extensive experience in restructuring and insolvency, combining a law degree and chartered accounting expertise with a relentless focus on stakeholder outcomes.
The 2026 Landscape
Rising professional liability exposure, including class actions targeting superficial investigations and the courts’ increasing scrutiny of insolvency practitioners who prioritise expediency over rigour.
Professional Obligations & Director Liability
Why a file closed quickly is not a file closed properly, and the legal and financial consequences when inadequate due diligence produces settlements that fail to reflect the true value of claims.
The Creditor & Stakeholder Shift
How creditors are moving from passive acceptance to active challenge, and how properly funded, rigorous litigation is delivering outcomes that sweetheart settlements never could.
