The corporate and commercial team are engaging, proactive and approachable and work collaboratively and in a one team manner
Our team of legal experts – one of the largest in the North – work with insolvency practitioners throughout the country, across a range of different instructions, often involving complex and challenging scenarios.
Focusing on your specific requirements we have significant experience across the full insolvency and restructuring spectrum – personal and corporate insolvency, pre and post appointment work, turnaround and restructuring, transactions, litigation, finance and much more.
We also recognise that in some formal appointments, there may be insufficient assets to meet costs as the case progresses. We are often able to work on a speculative basis or put in place innovative alternative funding packages to make sure that our insolvency practitioner clients get the expert advice they need, even if funds are limited.
We understand the insolvency and restructuring sector with a team specialises purely in this area. We also understand the regulatory framework in which insolvency practitioners operate, with partner Jane Garvin being JIEB qualified.
So when you need instant expert advice, along with swift, robust resources, we’re on hand to help.
