Restructuring & Insolvency

For business owners, directors, creditors and other stakeholders, a changing world can result in uncertainty. Will a business be able to continue to trade and meet its commitments from one month to the next? Will it be able to repay money lent to it or provide a return on investment? Will it be able to meet commitments to landlords, suppliers, customers and partners? How will the directors approach competing priorities in a time of challenge and fulfil their directors’ duties and responsibilities.

At Foot Anstey, our restructuring and insolvency lawyers can provide continuous legal support for evolving situations. We can support you through all stages of the demise curve. From the first signs of distress, where we focus on advisory support, turnaround or restructuring, through to formal corporate or individual insolvency, advising on potential claims and asset realisation strategies to maximise value for creditors, we work with you to find the right way forward.

We provide this advice to a wide variety of clients including directors and their boards, lenders, distressed equity investors and turnaround specialists, restructuring and insolvency practitioners (whether administrators, liquidators, trustees in bankruptcy, LPA receivers and supervisors of voluntary arrangements) and creditors. Our services cover everything from global restructuring solutions to bespoke restructuring plans aimed at preserving business continuity.

With our ability to innovate and think creatively, we will work with you and your other advisors to map out the right outcome for you mindful at all times of personal and reputational risk. That could be a managed insolvency process or part of a broader insolvency practice strategy. It could be a restructure with the aim of turnaround. It may involve insolvency litigation to protect your interests. It will always be a bespoke solution, tailored to your circumstances, whether within the UK or as part of a global restructuring initiative.
