Client Services

Insolvency and Corporate Recovery

We have many years experience in all aspects of insolvency and are recognised as experts in our field. Our lawyers are members of the Insolvency Lawyers Association and the Association of Business Recovery Professionals (R3).

Chambers 2011 recognised "Clarke Mairs has a considerable presence in the North East market, and is particularly known for its contentious insolvency practice. The firm also handles non-contentious work, acting for a number of insolvency practitioners."

We largely act for Insolvency Practitioners nationwide (from sole practitioners to multi national practices) who have already been appointed as office holders. We understand the importance in developing strong working relationships with Insolvency Practitioners and their staff. Every client relationship is based upon an understanding as to how that particular client expects the service to be delivered.

In contentious matters, without exception, we act for Insolvency Practitioners under the terms of conditional fee agreements. This therefore gives our clients the comfort that unless we are successful then they will not be liable for our costs and indeed the creditors will not see the available funds depleted by payment of legal costs.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Pre-Insolvency advice
  • Administrations
  • Corporate and Personal Voluntary Arrangements
  • Voluntary Liquidations
  • Winding up Petitions
  • Bankruptcy Asset/Business transfer and sale by Office Holder
  • Setting aside antecedent transactions
  • Claims against directors/shadow directors for wrongful trading and misfeasance claims
  • Asset and debt recovery
  • Property litigation
  • Technical support for Insolvency Practitioners

We also act for others affected by insolvency such as businesses/individuals who face financial difficulties and directors of insolvent companies who require advice in defending claims brought by office holders.

We always ensure that the legal advice given will be relevant, practical and commercial and they will enthusiastically strive at all times to obtain the best possible results.
