"unsurpassed amount of experience" - Chambers and Partners, 2010

Insolvency and Bankruptcy

Peters & Peters is able to advise in cases of insolvency or bankruptcy.

Services

We act for:

  • Court appointed officeholders in relation to claims against directors or third parties, or steps to secure documentation
  • Individuals and companies faced with claims made by insolvency practitioners both in the UK and overseas

We also advise creditors on bringing claims for damages against those responsible for the collapse of companies and the recovery of investment and debts owed to those creditors.

Our lawyers are able to deal with multi-jurisdictional claims made against directors and shareholders or third parties.

We have extensive experience of the powerful interim measures that may be taken against directors and/or third parties to preserve or secure assets under an insolvency.  These can take the form of Freezing Orders, and/or Search and Seizure Orders.  There may also be orders requiring information about assets and tracing, supplemented by Passport Orders.

We are specialists in advising and dealing with personal claims made against former directors and officers involving:

  • Allegations of alleged breaches of fiduciary duties
  • Transactions at an undervalue
  • Preferences
  • Loans
  • Fraudulent or wrongful trading
