Expert support for office holders in distressed scenarios

We act for insolvency practitioners across administrations, liquidations and other formal processes, providing responsive, commercially focused advice in time‑critical situations.

From initial appointment through to realisation and exit, we support office holders with strategy development and implementation, asset sales and distressed M&A, stakeholder negotiations and enforcement and recovery actions

Whether the objective is to stabilise a business, deliver a going concern sale or maximise realisations, we provide clear, pragmatic advice to help you progress matters efficiently to discharge your duties and protect value.

We understand the practical and commercial pressures faced by office holders and work alongside you as part of the wider advisory team. Our approach is straightforward and solutions-focused, enabling you to move quickly while managing risk.

Where required, we can also draw on our wider network to introduce funding providers, turnaround specialists and interim management to support trading or restructuring strategies.
