Main Areas Of Practice
If you are facing personal insolvency, our Insolvency solicitors will help you navigate the process:
For bankrupts
Our legal experts can apply for the annulment of a bankruptcy where there is funding available to pay all bankruptcy debts and expenses or where the bankruptcy order should not have been made. We can only advise bankrupts where a third party funds that advice.
For families and family offices
We advise family members or a family office on the effects of a family member's bankruptcy on the family or family office, including in relation to the steps taken by the trustee in bankruptcy to realise assets. Our legal experts provide support to those affected including for interviews with a trustee in bankruptcy or the Official Receiver.
For creditors
Our Insolvency solicitors advise on presenting a bankruptcy petition; often following litigation against the individual that has led to a judgement, including litigation to enforce a personal guarantee. Our experts also help support bankruptcy petitions and can advise on the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy.
For other third parties
Our Insolvency solicitors advise third parties, including companies, on their obligations to cooperate with a trustee in bankruptcy who is investigating a bankrupt's assets and affairs and considers that the third party may have relevant information.
