Insolvency + Restructuring

Helping individuals and businesses navigate financial difficulties

Finding solutions during financial turmoil.

We work with individuals and businesses at all stages of their lifecycle.

From front-end business structuring and asset protection advice to start ups and entrepreneurs, through to turn around solutions and options to deal with ‘cashflow lag’ during business growth and to deal with ‘cashflow interruption’ for external reasons.

Our experience helps clients navigate all situations.

If you are facing cashflow concerns, short-term business interruption or the effects of insolvency and bankruptcy, whether as an individual or a company, we help you understand the possible scenarios and identify the potential outcomes that are best for you in your situation.

Once you elect the best possible outcome available in the circumstances, we work with you focusing on a controlled process for a:

  1. restructuring to enable the business or company to continue trading; or
  2. an orderly ending of a company with minimal director risk.

Acting in all types of insolvency appointments across the secured and unsecured spaces, our team also provides specialist advice to insolvency practitioners and their appointors, tailored to the industry and specific debtor circumstances.
