Insolvency Disputes
Our specialist team of litigators understand that the insolvency of a business is a stressful time for its owners, its employees and its creditors. We can offer commercially focused advice on:
- Statutory demands
- Winding up petitions
- Claims by liquidators against company directors for misfeasance, breach of directors’ duties and wrongful or fraudulent reading;
- Claims to set aside transactions at an undervalue and preferences; and
- Disqualification of directors.
Example Cases
- Representing the former directors of an insolvent transport company against claims by the liquidator worth over £1m arising from alleged breaches of their duties as directors and the sale of intellectual property rights at an undervalue;
- Applying for an injunction to prevent the presentation of a winding up petition;
- Defending a creditor against a claim to set aide a charge granted in his favour on the grounds that it was preference.
