Corporate recovery & restructuring

Working together to protect your interests.

The Coronavirus outbreak is causing unprecedented disruption to businesses. We are in uncharted territory for our Society and the Economy. Even with Government support there is mounting financial pressure on businesses as they contend with this unprecedented uncertainty. The retail world has clearly been significantly impacted, with CVAs becoming increasingly prevalent. Dealing with circumstances related to financial distress can be extremely difficult from a business and personal perspective be you a debtor or a creditor.

Whether you are looking to restructure your current operations or seeking guidance on insolvency, you need to work closely with a team to devise an innovative strategy which will protect your interests and maximise the economic outcome of your situation. Whilst we cannot predict or control outside events, we can help you plan how best to protect your businesses and any personal liability you could face.

Our Corporate recovery & restructuring team works with financial institutions, insolvency funders, private equity houses and turnaround professionals, insolvency practitioners and businesses and individuals across a range of different industries. We have substantial experience working with Boards to guide them through difficult trading periods. We work with cash flows to deal with creditors in the best way for all, including negotiation and drafting appropriate standstills. We also work for office holders and litigation funders, always striving to maximise returns for creditors.

We fully integrate with your team, building up a thorough understanding of your business and your commercial position. We will then guide you through the potential opportunities and risks and work collaboratively with you to develop a pragmatic and commercially focused strategy tailored to your business. Our team is constantly striving to find new and more effective solutions for our clients and is committed to delivering the best possible results.
