Even the most well-crafted plans can sometimes hit a snag. Companies can face significant financial distress, and at times, a shift in direction becomes necessary to keep on the right track.
Sometimes these challenges can be predicted, allowing controlled adjustments in finances or the company structure. However, there are instances where unforeseen events take over, demanding urgent measures to prevent actions from creditors.
Our restructuring and insolvency lawyers are often sought for the restructuring of companies or larger groups. Representing both creditors and debtors, we bring a comprehensive understanding from both sides of the negotiation table. We have a keen sense of when immediate action is essential.
In cases where negotiated restructuring isn't feasible, we offer guidance to creditors, companies, and their directors on managing a formal insolvency process effectively. Once the formal process is initiated, we also extend our expertise to Insolvency Practitioners, advising on the myriad issues that can arise during insolvency proceedings.
Our specialty lies in advising directors on their duties when their company faces financial challenges, providing extensive experience and valuable insights in such circumstances.
We had an urgent need to raise finance. Michael Arnott was able to guide us through troubled waters with skill and intelligence. His expertise in restructuring and corporate finance, along with the wider firm’s knowledge of intellectual property and the med-tech sector, gave us the advice we needed in a quick and efficient manner. He is a valuable contributor at board meetings and understands how to help directors to carry their duties properly.
