Expert Law Advice Tailored to Your Business
Receiverships
Act for receivers, lenders and distressed companies; appoint, advise, and manage asset realisation, priority disputes, and creditor communications to maximise returns and minimise risk.
Liquidations
Guide directors and liquidators through solvent and insolvent wind-ups, investigate transactions, pursue recoveries, and protect stakeholders against personal liability and voidable claims.
Voluntary Arrangements
Structure creditor compromises, draft proposals, negotiate approvals, and oversee implementation to deliver breathing space and preserve value without formal insolvency.
Statutory Powers and Duties
Advise directors, receivers and liquidators on statutory obligations, safe-harbour protections, reporting, and risk mitigation to ensure compliance and avoid personal exposure.
Debt Recovery
Pursue debts decisively—statutory demands, judgment enforcement, security realisation—while balancing commercial relationships and costs.
Enforcement Actions
Act for lenders enforcing securities: appoint receivers, seize assets, obtain urgent injunctions, and litigate priority disputes to secure rapid recoveries.
Restructuring
Design turnaround strategies—debt refinancing, equity injections, asset sales—coordinate stakeholders and regulators to stabilise operations and restore solvency.
Compromises
Craft shareholder and creditor compromises, manage voting processes, court approvals, and implementation to achieve sustainable balance-sheet repair.
