Insolvency Litigation

Where Money Meets Accountability.

Insolvency litigation is high-pressure, high-stakes—and often determinative. We act for plaintiffs and defendants across all forms of insolvency-related proceedings, including:

  • Voidable transactions and clawbacks under the Companies Act 1993, including insolvent transactions, preferential payments, and undervalue dispositions


  • Reckless trading and insolvent trading claims against directors

    Breach of director duties and personal liability claims

    Disputes with or between liquidators, creditors, and secured parties


  • Contested liquidation proceedings, including applications and oppositions


  • Shareholder disputes in distressed companies, including derivative actions and access to information

We are also regularly engaged in liquidation proceedings on the “just and equitable” ground—often where there is deadlock, loss of confidence between shareholders, or oppressive conduct. These cases require not only commercial sensibility but forensic insight into the company’s viability and relationships.

In appropriate cases, we act urgently to seek or resist the appointment of interim liquidators, protecting assets and preventing dissipation or misconduct pending full hearings. We work swiftly with insolvency professionals and forensic accountants to build or neutralise the evidential base for interim relief.
