Helping clients navigate cross-border insolvency litigation

Our team is recognised for its strength in contentious insolvency litigation across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland as well as multi-jurisdictional restructurings involving the US, EU, Middle East, and offshore jurisdictions. We act in high-value disputes involving misfeasance, transactions at an undervalue, preferences, contested schemes/ restructuring Plans, and cross-border enforcement. Clients benefit from our seamless service across jurisdictions, commercial pragmatism, and deep technical expertise.

In England, we lead market-defining mandates, including large scale antecedent transaction claims, as well as creditor and company-side roles in contested Restructuring Plans and schemes. In Scotland, we’re trusted by leading insolvency practitioners and litigation funders for our strategic approach and technical excellence. In Northern Ireland, we advise on asset sales, title disputes, and enforcement of English restructuring plans.

Our experience spans retail, energy, financial services, and crypto-related insolvencies, giving us the sector knowledge to anticipate challenges and deliver results.
