Lavan provides strategic advice and representation in disputes in the context of insolvency, restructuring and corporate governance matters. Our practitioners assist with recovery actions such as insolvent trading, unfair preferences, and voidable transactions, and where necessary, pursue litigation to protect stakeholder interests and achieve optimal outcomes including acting for companies and individuals in relation to the disclosure of confidential information, shareholder meetings and shareholder oppression claims.
Our Restructuring & Insolvency services
We provide a comprehensive suite of solutions, designed to help businesses navigate financial challenges, complex issues and achieve stability.
We act for administrators, liquidators, provisional liquidators, receivers (private and court appointed), lenders and commercial parties on all aspects of insolvency, including statutory obligations, recovery actions, and stakeholder negotiations. Our practitioners can provide assistance with all stages of an insolvency process, from early risk management and safe harbour processes, through to formal appointments and negotiating and managing complex transactions in the context of the insolvency process, and including all related areas such as funding arrangements and specialist processes such as public examinations.
Our practitioners are experienced in complex corporate restructuring. We have developed a reputation as being a go-to firm, in particular acting for inbound capital in relation to acquisitions of distressed projects, assets or entities through formal insolvency processes. We help design optimal structures for company reorganisation and, where required, prepare the relevant documentation and manage applications for court approval.
Lavan delivers comprehensive recovery solutions, guiding clients through enforcement processes, asset realisation and coordinated recovery efforts. Our practitioners take a practical, commercially focused approach, working closely with lenders, insolvency practitioners and stakeholders where required to achieve timely and effective recovery outcomes.
