At Michelmores we act for insolvency practitioners, borrowers, lenders, professional advisors, directors and members of companies, partnerships and individuals including both creditors and debtors in every aspect of restructuring and insolvency, whether corporate or personal, contentious or non-contentious.
We offer a first rate, efficient, expedient and economic service based on our thorough knowledge of the subject and the unrivalled experience of our Restructuring and Insolvency Solicitors.
Restructuring and Turnaround
We regularly provide advice to companies, directors, lenders and other stakeholders on the financial restructuring of companies, both domestically and internationally. Our experience includes providing advice in respect of debt-to-equity swaps, restructuring or re-scheduling of senior, mezzanine and unsecured loans and other financial instruments including bonds and swap arrangements. We have significant experience in formal restructuring mechanisms such as voluntary arrangements and schemes of arrangement as well as informal bi-lateral negotiations and comprehensive experience of formal insolvency procedures.
Insolvency
Our team has very considerable experience in dealing with every aspect of insolvency and in acting for insolvency practitioners in respect of the disposal and recovery of assets, antecedent transactions, directors' disqualification proceedings and all aspects of corporate and personal insolvency whether of a contentious or non-contentious nature.
