As a leading litigation practice we
have real expertise in the contentious issues arising from
corporate insolvency. Our lawyers have acted in
litigation involving many of the high-profile insolvencies of
recent years, including BCCI, Maxwell and Barings.
Because we work closely with our corporate finance team
on insolvency matters, clients benefit from our in-depth
experience in restructuring distressed businesses and dealing
with the commercial pressures involved. Similarly, our
market-leading insurance and reinsurance expertise means that we
are especially well-positioned to advise on insolvency and
restructuring issues for brokers, managing agencies and insurance
companies.
Besides working with insolvent
companies, we regularly advise insolvency practitioners, directors,
shareholders, secured lenders, trade creditors and intending
acquirers of insolvent companies on a variety of issues.
Our recent experience includes
advising on matters relating to:
- administration orders;
- creditor arrangements;
- corporate voluntary arrangements;
- liquidations;
- partnership insolvencies;
- receiverships;
- wrongful trading; and
- antecedent transactions including transactions at an
undervalue, preferences, and transactions defrauding
creditors.
