An experienced and specialised team of insolvency solicitors, we work closely with those facing insolvency, on behalf of insolvency practitioners or those wishing to instigate proceedings. The law is often seen as dull, obstructive and often unnecessary. Sadly, the events of the last few weeks have shown that people and businesses need legal help and structures and without them there can be very serious and upsetting consequences.
My firm is here to advise and sometimes that advice will be simply do not panic and just keep an eye on what is happening and only take action when you need to. Without a will your dependents could be neglected and not receive the support they need. Intestacy often means that those you love can miss out, particularly if you have re-married or are not married.
Either in partnership or in a limited company, you need a formal agreement to protect everyone if someone becomes ill. We will analyse your circumstance and provide sensible recommendations, then if you wish us to act for you, we will work precisely and thoroughly upon your instruction.

Services
Whether our clients are individuals, small businesses or large entities we try and help our clients to get the best result for them.
Sometimes that result is not necessarily a 'win' but a least bad lose.
It is about being flexible, and understanding that legal services are complex, sometimes lengthy and often expensive.
Often a simple transaction can turn into a minefield due to reasons wholly beyond our client's control.
Our role is to deal with the unexpected and steer the best path which might just mean advising the client to walk away, whether it be a company sale, a claim for unpaid invoices or making an offer to escape from unpleasant and distracting litigation.

Whether you have issued a claim, or defending one, or not got to that stage we can help you.
Our experience over 20 years means we recognise the requirements of different clients, such as dealing with a probate dispute over a deathbed will or getting an injunction to protect a 30m property portfolio.
Whether your dispute can be resolved with or without the need for court proceedings, or you need to go to trial, we will advise on the strategy to adopt as well as the legal process.
This equally applies where there is a family dispute over property, an argument over legal costs or a claim for patent infringement.

Insolvency is not a crime; your circumstances may differ yet many, many people before you have become insolvent.
Harassing phone calls (often the first advice we give to people is to change their phone numbers).
You will not be under public scrutiny, as bankruptcy proceedings are not held in open court and the press is not present.
Although the bankruptcy is advertised, you will find that few people see the advert.
In addition, bankruptcy offers you the opportunity to start again.
We must stress, however, that you should always co-operate fully with the Official Receiver or Trustee in bankruptcy and not try to avoid or conceal material or information in any way.

What will happen when insolvency proceedings are begun against you and/or your business and what should you be doing about it?
The procedures for personal and corporate insolvency are similar in some respects, different in others.
The most significant difference is that the final hearing in personal insolvency (a bankruptcy hearing) is heard in chambers, i.e.
Judges' rooms, whereas the final hearing in corporate insolvency (a winding up petition) is heard in open court.
You will be approached by a Process Server (a private agent employed by the creditor who is seeking payment from you) and handed a Statutory Demand.
