We have experience in dealing with all types of Contentious and Non-Contentious Corporate, Personal and Cross Border insolvency issues.
As well as acting for Insolvency Practitioners, we act for others affected by insolvency, such as lenders, professional advisors, trade creditors, businesses and individuals.
We are supported by our colleagues who are specialists in Banking, Property, Employment, Corporate and IP and who have knowledge and experience of insolvency issues.
In addition, we have established a niche expertise for cross border work and through our membership of INSOL and ADVOC, a global legal network with over 90 law firms worldwide. This enables us to advise clients located overseas to open insolvency proceedings in England and Wales, as well as clients based in the UK to trace and recover offshore assets.

Advice for Businesses
We can help you by providing advice on acquiring businesses from Administrators and Liquidators. We can also assist on restructuring businesses without the need for formal insolvency proceedings. We can also advise Directors on trading during the "twilight period" before Administration or Liquidation.
Transactional Insolvency
We advise Insolvency Practitioners, as Administrator, Liquidator or Receiver on the sale of insolvent companies, LLPs and partnerships. This includes advising on the validity of the IP's appointment, lender's security and suppliers ROT. We also advise on a range of legal and commercial issues, including employees and pensions, IP and IT and commercial property.
Creditor Services
We advise lenders, creditors and landlords on the insolvency of their customers/tenants. We assist lenders to enforce their security; landlords on recovering rent from an insolvent tenant; advise businesses to recover goods subject to Retention of Title and assist in the recovery of debts owed by a customer.
Professional service firms need to keep the Lender and the Regulator on side and we have the skills to manage these stakeholders effectively.
