Bankruptcy & Insolvency
We understand the stress and uncertainty that bankruptcy and insolvency can bring. Where a bankruptcy notice or creditor's statutory demand is received, it is critical that urgent action is taken and advice obtained as short timeframes apply and the consequences can be significant.

- Acting both for insolvency practitioners and persons affected by their appointment.
- Bankruptcy notices and creditors petitions.
- Compulsory notices to produce issued by insolvency practitioners.
- Creditors’ statutory demands and winding up applications.
- Personal Property Securities Act (PPSA) disputes in an insolvency setting.
- Public examinations and other bankruptcy/insolvency investigative processes.
- Voidable transaction claims, including unfair preferences and uncommercial transactions.
