Our Restructuring and Insolvency group provides
specialist advice and assistance to construction companies affected
by insolvency issues. They act quickly for their clients, who range
from sole traders to administrators of multinational companies.
Our nationally recognised specialists offer a full range of
services within one team.
The non-contentious specialists are experienced in turnaround
and re-financing, as well as the sale and purchase of businesses
and assets in insolvency situations. We are fully aware of the
consequences of formal insolvency upon construction contracts and
the basis upon which certain contracts can be novated, and we are
experienced in advising upon and lodging proofs of debt in both
domestic and overseas insolvencies.
The contentious specialists have considerable experience across
the board, from recovery actions for office holders to specialist
applications within company administrations. We have knowledge of
construction issues including adjudicator and arbitratror awards,
and vast experience of winding up petitions, administration
applications, CVAs and interim orders such as injunctions to
restrain advertisement of petitions and the appointment of
provisional liquidators in cases of high risk and urgency.
We can advise on proposals made by business partners and arrange
representation at creditors' meetings. We also have a sophisticated
contact network of insolvency practitioner accountants, surveyors
and other professionals of suitable experience we can call upon,
whether to assist our clients with their own difficulties or our
creditor clients with securing appropriate appointments to ensure
that their interests are protected throughout the insolvency of a
business partner.
