Bankruptcy

We have extensive experience in bankruptcy (which is also known as personal insolvency). We advise individuals, business owners and families how to avoid bankruptcy, setting aside Statutory Demands and defending bankruptcy petitions which are often presented by creditors such as HMRC. We also advise on property transactions capable of being set aside and declared void.

We also advise on the following:-

• Setting aside Statutory Demands
• Appealing Bankruptcy Orders
• Individual Voluntary Arrangements
• Protecting the family home
• Suing  trustees for Malfeasance and loss
• Filing for bankruptcy
• Negotiations with creditors
• Debt management plans
• Defending possession proceedings
• Dismissing bankruptcy petitions
• Negotiating with the official receiver
• Challenging trustees costs
• Negotiating tax liabilities with HMRC
• Suing accountants and insolvency practitioners
• Annulment of bankruptcy orders
• Defending applications made by trustees in bankruptcy for:-
  • Transactions at an Undervalue
  • Preferences
  • Transactions entered into to defraud creditors
  • Third party proceedings to provide information and/or documentation to the Trustee in Bankruptcy concerning the bankrupt, or the bankrupts dealings.
