EXPERTISE

CORPORATE INSOLVENCY

Whether we are acting for a company, director or creditor, our team can guide you through the processes that will result in a corporation having a receiver or controller appointed, being administered or wound up.

Once a company is placed into external administration, we can continue to act for you in navigating any issues that arise from the life cycle of the external administration.We regularly act for receivers, controllers, administrators and liquidators in a wide range of disputes emanating from the external administration of a corporation. Our aim is to provide sound, commercial advice that guards the best interests of the directors, officers, or creditors, whilst ensuring that all obligations are met by the external administrator.

In external administrations where there is a high volume of debts to recover, we can offer the very same package of services to the corporate insolvency industry as we do to the insurance and banking industry. This means the adoption of innovative costing models to ensure that the benefit derived from your legal spend is maximised and allowing you online access to view your files in ‘real time’.

As a snapshot, we can:

  • Assist in the process of companies being wound up
  • Insolvent and uncommercial transactions
  • Directors duties claims or defences
  • Recovery or defence of debts and property
  • Advising receivers, controllers, administrators, and liquidators on their own obligations under the Corporations Act. 
  • Advising directors and officers on their common law and statutory obligations.
