Restructuring & Insolvency

Service overview

What we do

Financial pressure can affect otherwise sound businesses as well as those facing more fundamental difficulties. When circumstances change, early advice can preserve options, protect value and help those involved make informed decisions.
We advise businesses, directors, lenders, investors, creditors and insolvency practitioners on restructuring, recovery and insolvency matters. Our work ranges from refinancing, debt negotiations and business reorganisations to distressed transactions, formal insolvency processes, security enforcement and related disputes.
These situations rarely involve financial considerations alone. Where needed, we bring together specialists from Banking & Finance, Corporate, Commercial, Employment, Real Estate, Tax and Disputes, allowing us to consider the business, its assets and its obligations as a whole.

How we can help

Financial difficulty does not necessarily lead to insolvency. We help businesses and stakeholders assess the available options and decide how best to proceed. This may involve negotiating with lenders and creditors, refinancing or restructuring debt, reorganising a business, securing new investment or completing a sale under financial pressure.
Where formal insolvency cannot be avoided, we advise throughout administrations, liquidations, company voluntary arrangements and bankruptcy. We also support lenders and creditors with recovery and enforcement, and advise insolvency practitioners on asset recovery, antecedent transactions, directors’ duties and related claims.
Some situations require urgent action; others benefit from careful negotiation over time. In either case, clients have direct access to experienced advisers who understand the commercial realities, explain the options clearly and remain closely involved throughout.
