Corporate Recovery and Insolvency

Our excellent reputation in corporate recovery and insolvency work has built up over many years, principally through acting for companies in difficulties and their directors. Our practice is by no means restricted to company-side work: we have considerable experience advising creditors, insolvency practitioners and other parties involved when a company is in financial difficulty. In the past few years we have had leading roles in a significant number of the most complex restructurings and refinancings in the UK. Of particular note is our advice to HM Treasury in relation to Northern Rock’s problems.

We have developed a focussed team of partners who spend the greater part of their time on corporate recovery and insolvency work. They bring extensive experience from many sectors of the firm’s work, particularly in the fields of finance, corporate law and dispute resolution. Increasingly, specialist insolvency expertise is required in this complex and technically challenging field. The team works closely with other advisers such as major firms of accountants and investment banks to develop innovative ideas and practical solutions for our clients.
