Insolvency Services, we're on your side.

Insolvency practitioners, funders and creditors alike may all need to resort to litigation when a struggling company faces insolvency.

Claims can be made in respect of wrongful trading, retention of title, directors’ duties, disqualification, unfair preference and gratuitous alienation.

At Else Solicitors, we have experience of acting for clients on a regular basis in applications for liquidation, administration and sequestration proceedings, agreeing insolvency practitioners’ remuneration and actions to recover assets.

How can we help?

Examples of the types of cases we have successfully acted in are:

  • Acting for a liquidator in a successful preference action – seeking recovery of money and assets from former directors.
  • Advising for insolvency practitioners in relation to the recovery of unlawful dividend paid.
  • Acting for both insolvency practitioners and third parties in cases brought for transfer of assets at an undervalue.
  • Acting for a consortium of creditors and advising in relation to retention of title claims amounting to some £2m when a large retailer went into administration.
