We regularly work alongside accountants, financial advisers and insolvency practitioners to provide coordinated, outcome‑focused advice throughout the lifecycle of a matter.
Our insolvency dispute expertise
We understand that insolvency disputes can be complex, high-stakes, and often culminate in litigation. As part of Moray & Agnew’s national Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice, our restructuring and insolvency lawyers are highly experienced litigators. We are well placed to manage contested matters efficiently and strategically, whether through negotiation, mediation or court proceedings.
Whether acting for creditors, insolvency practitioners, or distressed companies, we provide strategic advice from the outset, ensuring that every decision is informed by a clear understanding of the commercial realities and legal risks involved. When disputes escalate to court, our strength lies in our ability to manage intricate factual and legal issues, navigate procedural challenges, and present compelling arguments that protect our clients’ interests.
We pride ourselves on being proactive, pragmatic, and relentless in pursuing favourable outcomes, whether through negotiated settlements or decisive litigation. Our track record in handling complex insolvency disputes demonstrates our commitment to achieving results that safeguard value and minimise exposure.
Our recoveries experience
We have vast experience in pursuing the recovery of voidable transactions, including transactions defrauding creditors, unreasonable director-related transactions and preferences, and misfeasance claims against directors and company officers.
