Service overview

What we do

Financial pressure can arise for many reasons, whether caused by changing market conditions, rising costs, operational challenges, funding issues or a combination of factors. When it does, organisations and individuals often need to make important decisions quickly, while balancing competing commercial, financial and legal considerations.
We advise businesses, lenders, investors, insolvency practitioners, directors and stakeholders on restructuring, recovery and insolvency matters. Our work ranges from supporting organisations facing financial difficulty to advising on distressed acquisitions, business sales, insolvency processes and disputes arising from insolvency events.
Where broader expertise is required, we work closely with specialists across Banking & Finance, Corporate, Commercial, Real Estate, Employment, Tax and Disputes. This enables us to consider financial challenges in the context of the wider business and the objectives of those involved.

How we can help

Financial difficulties do not always lead to insolvency. In many cases, early advice can help identify practical options, protect value and create opportunities for recovery.
We advise on refinancing, debt restructuring, business recoveries, distressed transactions, security enforcement, administrations, liquidations, company voluntary arrangements, bankruptcy and related disputes. We also support directors, lenders, creditors and insolvency practitioners in understanding their rights, obligations and available options.
Some clients come to us to preserve and rebuild a business. Others are seeking to recover value, protect investments or manage the consequences of an insolvency event. Whatever the circumstances, our focus is on providing clear advice, helping clients make informed decisions and achieving the best outcome available in the situation.
