Course Overview
The program is divided into 24 lessons, covering every aspect of intercreditor agreements:
Participants begin with an introduction to ICAs, exploring their importance, the situations in which they are required, and the key concepts underpinning these agreements.

Learners gain insight into the roles and interests of different parties to ICAs, which is critical for effective negotiation.
The course also delves into ICA structures and essential provisions, including ranking, payment waterfalls, and restrictions on amendments. Participants learn enforcement strategies, including standstill periods, payment blockages, and mechanisms for controlling creditor actions. Later lessons focus on the release of security, options to purchase, and practical guidance on analyzing ICAs in real-world scenarios. Each topic is carefully structured to build both theoretical understanding and practical application.
