Our insolvency practice works from the UK and Hong Kong. We believe we have worked on almost every major multi-faceted group collapse since 2000, and advised on more solvent and insolvent schemes of arrangement than any other firm. We are consistently involved in ‘firsts’ within the market.
Major high-profile work like the advice to creditors in respect of the Enron Group of companies shows how our small but highly-focused team handles big-ticket cross-jurisdictional cases.
We have a team that focuses exclusively on insurance insolvencies. With our run-off group we have been involved in a number of high-profile insurance insolvencies and the first solvent scheme of arrangement for a London market insurer.
We advise on formal and informal procedures including:
- Debt for equity swaps
- Administrations and CVAs
- All forms of receivership
- All forms of liquidation
- Investigations and commercial litigation
- Advice in relation to wrongful and fraudulent trading
- Solvent and insolvent restructurings
- Cross-border insolvency issues
Our client base includes both debtors and creditors. Clients say we “respond in a timely fashion…understand how [they] work and …can tailor brilliantly to [their] requirements.” Most traditionally come from the insurance industry, but we also work for clients in TMT, financial services, trade and energy and transport.
