Working to find the best options for all

We support businesses of all shapes and sizes. Whatever is needed in your particular situation, we’ll always work to protect your interests and put you in a better position with your creditors. Whether this involves selling your business or certain assets, or entering into administration, we’ll provide practical advice in a way that’s easy to follow at an already stressful time. In some cases, the difficulties might be entangled in a former director’s decisions. When you need to take action against, or defend yourself from, former directors and third parties, we’ll act robustly on your behalf.

We also act for accountants, from niche insolvency practices to the Big Four, and corporates and lenders looking to protect themselves from a third-party insolvency. Our experience in dealing with all sides of the corporate insolvency world gives us a valuable perspective we can use to help you secure the result you need to achieve.
