Insolvency — Corporate & Personal

We act for company directors, creditors and individuals across the full range of corporate and personal insolvency matters — from early-stage cash-flow advice through to formal proceedings and asset recovery.

For directors, we advise on directors' duties in the zone of insolvency, the use of CVAs, administration and creditors' voluntary liquidation, and on the personal exposure that can arise from wrongful trading, misfeasance and director disqualification proceedings.

For creditors, we issue statutory demands and winding-up petitions, defend strike-out applications, prove in liquidation and bankruptcy, and pursue antecedent transactions such as preferences and transactions at an undervalue.

For individuals, we advise on Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs), bankruptcy petitions, debt relief orders and the protection of the family home, and we work alongside licensed insolvency practitioners where a formal procedure is required.
