The Firm

Somerset Ryckmans traces its antecedents to the pre-eminent insolvency firm of P.A. Somerset & Co., where Marc Ryckmans, this firm’s founding partner, was mentored under the late Peter Andrew Somerset, one of Australia’s leading practitioners in insolvency.

In the tradition of P.A. Somerset & Co., Somerset Ryckmans is a boutique law firm providing a comprehensive range of legal services to domestic and foreign companies, public and private institutions, and to individuals.  The firm’s diverse areas of practice with an emphasis on insolvency litigation reflect the multi-disciplined capabilities of its lawyers.  Working in a boutique environment with resources available through a network of established relationships, Somerset Ryckmans is uniquely positioned to handle the most complex business and legal problems with attentiveness to client service not often found at larger firms.
