Australia’s real estate sector is entering a new phase. Higher interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, shifting capital markets, evolving government policy settings, heightened regulatory scrutiny and valuation uncertainty are reshaping how developers, lenders and investors approach risk.

Using real estate as the starting point, this panel will explore the broader restructuring landscape through a Victorian lens, from property valuations and changing sources of capital, to distressed assets, workouts, enforcement strategies and investment opportunities in a changing market environment.

Bringing together leaders in Victoria across restructuring, law, real estate and private credit, the discussion will follow the full distressed real estate lifecycle, examining where pressure points are emerging, how stakeholders are responding, and where opportunities may arise as the market adjusts.
