Insolvency and Corporate Recovery
IBB's insolvency and corporate recovery team undertakes a large amount of mainstream insolvency work (both contentious and non-contentious). The team is often consulted by insolvency practitioners, companies in difficulties, company directors and individuals in relation to their corporate recovery requirements.
Given the complex nature of this type of work it is becoming increasingly important to have access to specialist insolvency expertise. Our insolvency and corporate recovery team is able to offer you that level of expertise at a time when you really need the support to get through potential or current difficulties.
The team has developed extensive links with insolvency practitioners, banks and relevant professionals in the surrounding area and plays an important part in supporting our corporate, banking and finance and commercial real estate teams.
