Whether you wish to reorganise or restructure your corporate affairs as a result of financial distress or to optimise group structure for tax and corporate efficiencies, we can support you. Our positive and practical approach to problem solving ensures that the best outcome can be achieved for clients in even the most difficult of situations.
As well as restructuring and insolvency expertise, our team has a wealth of experience in corporate advisory services and we regularly work with clients at all stages of their development, from inception through growth, disposal, periods of stress and crisis. Where companies experience trading difficulties – whether caused by supply chain issues, over gearing, creditor pressure or loss of contracts – we can provide timely, effective commercial advice. We will help you assess risk, develop strategies to minimise the effect of adverse economic conditions and enable outgoing trading whilst ensuring that the interests of the company and all its stakeholders are protected.
We work with single companies or groups of companies as well as LLPs, partnerships and other corporate entities and their directors, partners and members.
Our specialist restructuring and insolvency team draws on the expertise of our colleagues in corporate law, real estate, construction, litigation and employment, enabling us to work in partnership with our clients to deliver the most effective and efficient outcome for them.

We represent the interests of insolvency practitioners, funders and creditors pre- and post-insolvency, and regularly advise clients in relation to unfair preference and gratuitous alienations, wrongful trading, retention of title, and directors’ duties and disqualification. Our insolvency litigators also advise trustees in sequestration on recovering assets and the many contentious issues which arise with debtors who refuse to cooperate with the trustee.
We regularly deal with insolvency cases in the Sheriff Courts and Court of Session, and act for clients in presenting routine applications in liquidation, administration and sequestration proceedings, including notes for extension of administrations, fixing of insolvency practitioners’ remuneration, sanction to raise court proceedings by and against companies in a formal insolvency process and actions to recover possession of heritable assets.
