Members of the Business Recovery & Insolvency team are located in each of our UK and European offices.

Working closely with other teams within the firm, in particular the Corporate, Asset Based Lending, Banking and Pensions teams, our turnaround and rescue specialists advise clients on how to avoid formal insolvency proceedings, supporting the Government led enterprise and rescue culture in modern business. We also provide practical, commercial legal support to boards of company directors faced with financial difficulty to try and ensure that they comply with their duties.

Our recent successes in cross-border administration applications pursuant to the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings demonstrate the strong links between the UK Business Recovery & Insolvency team and our counterparts in Europe and the benefits of a full multi-jurisdictional service approach appropriate to the international business world.

The strength of the team over such a wide geographical area means we always act quickly and can be on site anywhere in the UK and most of Europe, with the capacity and experience to deal with multi-site restructurings or insolvencies.

Within the team are specialists in all formal categories of insolvency ranging from bankruptcy through voluntary arrangements to all forms of receiverships, administration and liquidation. We also have a strong contentious team, including accredited mediators, who have a track record of delivering successful solutions where disputes arise.

Our UK team of ten partners and 24 other fee earners is dedicated to serving our clients' needs across the full range of the recovery and insolvency sector. Several of our UK lawyers are also qualified as Insolvency Practitioners, although we do not take formal appointments. This ensures that our clients receive commercial and impartial advice.

The Business Recovery & Insolvency team works with directors and management teams, corporates, financial institutions and fellow insolvency professionals to ensure a maximum recovery to stakeholders wherever a business faces financial difficulty.
