Insolvency and Restructuring

Pragmatic and relevant advice for insolvency practitioners, banks, businesses and individuals to plan and implement restructuring and recovery strategies quickly and cost-effectively

We act for professional insolvency practitioners, financial institutions, unsecured creditors, shareholders and employees to provide comprehensive advice through all stages of a period of business distress, from credit risk through to formal schemes of arrangement. We assist in pursuing opportunities to acquire assets from distressed entities and to preserve the value in such entities. Our team has broad experience in numerous industries, and we work closely with other experts in our firm to offer our clients comprehensive and relevant advice. We also advise on applying to the Courts to have liquidators appointed and removed, voluntary administrations extended, and decisions on proofs of debt reviewed.
