What we do best

Over 10 years of experience.

Our Liquidation Barristers provide strategic and tactical advice throughout the liquidation process and have worked with liquidators, creditors, and companies that are the subject of liquidation.

The liquidation process requires skilful management, both for creditors and debtors, as well as careful preparation and committed and strategic action. Our barristers provide expert legal support designed to achieve desired outcomes effectively and swiftly.

Our involvement may be as simple as issuing a Winding-Up Petition on behalf of creditors and negotiating the distribution of assets so that our clients receive a fair settlement. Alternatively, it may require extensive court time, for example, on behalf of company directors looking to prevent a business from being dissolved.

Why Choose Us

Our Direct Access Barristers

Multifaceted & Interdisciplinary

Our barristers in London are cross qualified so you don’t have to go from one solicitor’s office on the High Street to barristers’ chambers at the Inns of Court.

Excellent Value

A barrister usually has lower overheads, so this will usually be more economical than retaining the solicitor alone and will cost less than instructing both.

Maximum Efficiency

You get the earliest possible direct access to the specialist – not just when a problem gets to Court. This could save you the headache, heartache and expense of avoidable litigation.

Full Transparency

You will normally know in advance the basis upon which the work will be charged, as well as your advisors view on likely prospects of success.
