The advice, guidance and support you need

We provide practical support on all aspects of company rescue. We’re on hand to engage with your stakeholders and negotiate with your creditors, including setting up schemes of arrangement.

We also advise on:

  • Potential third party investment options, including debt restructuring and financing
  • Your statutory and fiduciary duties, including your duties to your creditors, transactions you should or should not enter, and unlawful dividends
  • The risk of wrongful trading and avoiding potential disqualification as a director
  • Insolvency procedures that could turnaround your business, such as restructuring plans, company or partnership voluntary arrangements, and administrations.

Expertise you can trust

Our team has significant experience on advising businesses in trouble. We work across many different sectors and industries, including construction, defence, infrastructure and national security, education, healthcare and tech.

Our national reputation means we are often asked by lenders, turnaround professionals and directors to provide the legal expertise their clients need. As well as our knowledge in this field, we’re also able to call on our colleagues in other teams when a matter requires wider input and expertise.

In short, when you need someone in your corner to help you find your way through, we’re here to help.
