We are commercially minded, focussed and proactive, seeking solutions and adding value to our services wherever possible. We have managed transactional assignments, including sales and purchases with a multi-jurisdictional element, returned value to creditors by mediation, pre-emptive action, and litigation where necessary. We regularly advise on corporate governance and director duties in the private and public sector arena in addition to the provision of advice and assistance to financial institutions, stakeholders, insolvency practitioners, directors, and creditors.

When acting for insolvency practitioners we appreciate and understand their regulatory and statutory duties which assists us in driving legal processes to meet their needs.  This is further aided by the fact that the head of our Business Support and Insolvency Team, Paul Caldicott, is himself a qualified Insolvency Practitioner. We are experienced in all forms of antecedent recovery, search and seizure powers and work hard to negotiate or litigate claims to a successful conclusion.

We are regularly asked by banks and other lenders to advise upon the recovery options available to them. We routinely provide security and title reviews, sometimes to very tight deadlines and we will work to a fixed fee or on a contingency basis. We have experience of drafting bespoke letters of demand, advising on possible appointment challenges, contrasting receivership with administration, and informal restructuring solutions, including a debt for equity swap and freehold participation agreements.

Turnaround and the corporate rescue of financially distressed businesses is a major part of our work. It always pays dividends to seek our early, expert advice.

We are able to provide tailored in-house training seminars to firms of Insolvency Practitioners, financial institutions and corporates on all areas of our diverse practice.
