Our areas of expertise
We offer specialist, forward-thinking legal advice in all areas of insolvency, including:
- Winding up petitions (WUPs) and orders: A WUP is when a creditor of a company applies to the court to have the company wound up. We can assist you in obtaining such orders and investigate whether a liquidator should be appointed. When there is a valid defence to a claim, we can also assist companies to oppose the making of such an order.
- Bankruptcy: We can assist you in your bankruptcy claims against individuals who do not pay you. We can with our contacts assist in the suitable appointment of a Trustee who will work with us to try and trace assets to make a recovery. We can also consider settlement options, defend the claim, or introduce you to an Insolvency Practitioner who can help you reach an agreement with all of your creditors.
- The disqualification of directors: In cases where directors are reported as ‘unfit’ (for failing to meet legal responsibilities and letting a company become insolvent), we can offer legal advice to directors who want to challenge such a claim, as well as helping those claiming disqualification with court action.
- Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA) claims: We help claimants and defendants alike with TOLATA disputes, which involves identifying legal ownership shares of property.
