Key Legal Frameworks in Insolvency Litigation

Our insolvency services are grounded in a strong understanding of relevant legislation, including:

  • The Insolvency Act 1986: Governs the procedures for both individual and corporate insolvency, including winding-up and bankruptcy.
  • The Companies Act 2006: Defines the duties of directors, particularly around wrongful trading and potential liability for continuing to trade while insolvent.
  • The Enterprise Act 2002: Streamlined the insolvency process, offering companies a greater chance of survival before resorting to winding-up.

The solicitor [Chun Wong] provided me with an excellent service, she couldn’t have done anything better. She was very supportive and knowledgeable, kept me fully informed and explained complex matters to me in a way that I could instantly understand.” Mrs Lee

Featured Case Studies

Defending a Winding-Up Petition

We represented a trading company facing a winding-up petition due to unpaid invoices. By demonstrating that the invoices were disputed, we successfully had the petition dismissed, enabling the business to continue trading.

Advising on a CVA

An Enterprise was struggling with mounting debts and pressure from creditors. We assisted the company in negotiating a Company Voluntary Arrangement, allowing them to restructure their debts and avoid liquidation.

Setting Aside a Bankruptcy Petition

A high-net-worth individual was served with a bankruptcy petition over a disputed debt. We challenged the validity of the debt, leading to the petition being set aside, safeguarding the client’s financial standing.
