Insolvency Litigation & Fraud
Insolvency often gives rise to a range of contentious issues such as fraud, unlawful dividends, wrongful trading, misfeasance, preference and undervalue transactions.
Our specialist team combines technical insolvency expertise with a long track record of experience in contentious matters. We’re proud of the expertise we have within our team, which allows us to support our clients in a variety of ways.
The work we do ranges from discrete claims to some of the largest cross-border insolvency disputes with multi-faceted claims.
Our clients include creditors, debtors, distressed companies, lenders and other financial institutions asserting or facing potential claims, and Administrators, Liquidators and Trustees in Bankruptcy asserting claims.
We work across all sectors but we’re well known for advising insolvency office holders on claims related to fraud and asset tracing.
We can also help with:
- Information disclosure applications, including under sections 234, 235 and 236 of the Insolvency Act 1986
- Global Freezing Orders
- Passport Confiscation Orders
- Committal Orders
- Bankers Trust / Norwich Pharmacal Orders
- Pursuing claims through US bankruptcy procedures
- Issues arising from MTIC (missing trader) fraud on HMRC
We’re an independent law firm, which means that if an instruction involves a cross-border element, we’re able to choose the most appropriate international adviser from our network of carefully selected lawyers in all the major jurisdictions.
We’re also happy to discuss alternative fee structures for an instruction: this may involve working with litigation funders and/ or a contingent fee structure.
