However solid your business model, unexpected events that affect you, your customers or suppliers can trigger issues with cashflow, operations, productivity and more. We understand these pressures and are here to offer you expert support in uncertain times. We advise on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious insolvency work and specialise in complex commercial restructuring and turning businesses around.

Our specialists will work with you to devise plans, formulate exit strategies and negotiate a route forward with stakeholders. You can rely on our strategic advice to resolve disputes and other issues, and our practical help with day-to-day commercial challenges such as debt recovery.

Hands-on guidance from experienced partners

Our partners not only lead their teams, but they also stay closely involved, giving you direct access to lawyers with high levels of knowledge and expertise.

We’re highly responsive, so you get support exactly when you need it.

A clear path forward for every business

Having advised in this field for many years, we have strong relationships with insolvency practitioners, funders and agents.
