Insolvency and Reconstruction

We represent a wide range of clients in both insolvency and corporate reconstructions.  We use our multi-disciplinary experience to assist clients in realizing maximum value and recovery.  We formulate strategies with clients with respect to the myriad issues that arise in an insolvency scenario.

Our experience includes representing debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, administrators, liquidators, receivers, company directors, lenders and parties interested in acquiring assets and businesses from financially troubled companies.  A significant part of our practice is on behalf of corporations that find themselves in financial difficulties and believe their long-term success can best be achieved through a reconstruction or voluntary administration.

The fact that we represent both debtors and creditors has tangible benefits for our clients in that it gives us an understanding of how to resolve the problems presented in any troubled-company situation.
