Introduction
From time to time any business sector can be affected by financial distress or insolvency. Our experienced team provides practical and commercial legal advice to all stakeholders affected by insolvency. We have a wealth of experience acting for insolvency practitioners, creditors, companies and directors, as well as individuals facing personal insolvency issues.
The team
Our team is highly experienced in supporting businesses and their directors through financially challenging situations. We will advise you on what exactly you face in an insolvency or restructuring process and how to best manage it. At a personal level we will explain and support you with your director responsibilities and statutory duties.
Our team understands the needs of insolvency professionals and we are experienced in dealing with the particular demands of administrations, liquidations, receiverships and personal insolvency procedures. We provide technically excellent but commercial advice and we value our long standing relationships with these clients.
We also understand the needs of our creditor clients, and how they can protect their position in the face of counter-party insolvency.
Our team has a very strong reputation in the market. We have acted in several widely reported High Court and Court of Appeal cases. We recently successfully settled a multi-million pound breach of duty claim against directors (our clients) by HMRC. We negotiated a structured settlement that preserved the majority of our client’s life-time savings.
