Business Restructuring / Insolvency

We take a practical and constructive approach to protecting the interests of clients who are affected by corporate reconstructions, recovery and insolvency. We also work with under-performing businesses, national and local insolvency practitioners, banks and other financial institutions.

Our team members have a broad range of experience in dealing with issues relevant to insolvency law and in addition, Jeanette Donohoe, Director, also has Professional 1 and 2 qualifications from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland.

We can advise you on corporate rescues and reconstructions, formal insolvencies including administrations, receiverships and liquidation, cross border insolvency, workouts and rescue and individual or partnership insolvencies.

Our expertise in insolvency and restructuring is supported by a depth of resources and niche specialisms throughout our practice. We are a dynamic, flexible and very accessible team. Indeed, our reputation for providing exactly this type of service is increasingly being recognised by our clients.
