I have received a statutory demand — what should I do?

You normally have 21 days to pay, settle or apply to set aside a statutory demand before a winding-up or bankruptcy petition can be issued. Early advice is essential.

Can directors be personally liable in an insolvency?

Yes. Wrongful trading, misfeasance, unlawful dividends and overdrawn directors' loan accounts can all give rise to personal liability and disqualification. We defend such claims and advise on protective steps.

Do you act for creditors as well as debtors?

We act for both. We do not act for both sides on the same matter, and we will check for conflicts at the outset.
