Your challenges
If you are a business struggling, or likely to struggle, to continue to pay its debts as they fall due and you see no reasonable prospect of that improving, then your business needs to consider its restructuring options and/or the best means of minimising the potential loss to your creditors.
Achieving your ambitions
The lawyers in our restructuring and insolvency group have extensive experience in advising on the restructuring of businesses and formal insolvencies for the stakeholders of distressed businesses.
We advise companies and lenders on solvent organisations and restructuring; all aspects of credit, legal, insolvency and counterparty risk; buyers of distressed businesses and their assets and their funders; and insolvency practitioners, banks and companies on formal insolvency processes such as administration, receivership and liquidation.
The strength you need
Our core team of eight lawyers specialising in restructuring and insolvency work is supported by a further 12 corporate and banking lawyers plus specialists in corporate tax, pensions, employment, intellectual property, real estate, litigation and arbitration and further supported by legal experts in the agribusiness, construction, education, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, real estate, service and technology sectors.
Recent assignments include advising in the insolvencies of Josiah Wedgwood & Sons and Great Leighs racecourse.
Lawyers you can trust
We are described by the legal directories as an "impressive insolvency group" whose strength lies in its “professionalism and ability to bring in specialists on any subject”. Chambers UK also describes our restructuring and insolvency group as a “superb team” praised for its “cost effectiveness and its ability to turn things around quickly”.
