Insolvency and restructuring

Our clients trust us to manage complex insolvency litigation across both UK and international jurisdictions

Our services are wide-ranging, from helping to place a company into an insolvency event through to acting for the office holder on recovering funds from third parties, and include bringing claims against directors as well as representing those defending claims.

Whatever the claim being contemplated, brought or defended, or the court process required, we are distinctively approachable and practical with an absolute focus on providing the best possible outcome for our clients.

Our global team is expert in both corporate and personal insolvency matters within a domestic and cross-border insolvency context. We act for insolvency practitioners, government departments, banks, insurance companies, directors, shareholders, creditors and companies in financial distress.
