It can be challenging to navigate an insolvency dispute, whether you’re a creditor seeking to recover unpaid debts or a director facing claims related to company solvency.

At TV Edwards, our experienced team of insolvency disputes solicitors deliver expert guidance in resolving complex insolvency matters and asset recovery. We protect your interests and minimise disruption while delivering solutions for businesses, lenders, directors, shareholders, and investors. 

Understanding Insolvency Litigation and Disputes

Insolvency litigation involves legal disputes arising from a company’s or individual’s inability to pay debts, which often leads them to seek out asset recovery or defence against claims made against them. Our insolvency disputes solicitors assist with a variety of matters, including:

  • Administrations
  • Compulsory liquidations
  • Creditors’ voluntary liquidations
  • Bankruptcy
  • Company, partnership, and individual voluntary arrangements
  • Director disqualification
  • Investigating, pursuing, and defending claims
  • Asset recovery and misfeasance proceedings
  • Fraud and asset tracing

At TV Edwards, we work with creditors to make the insolvency procedure more straightforward. We help them recover debts, while supporting directors, shareholders, and investors facing claims of causing insolvency. For fraud-related issues, our civil fraud solicitors provide expertise, as you can see here in our civil fraud claims.

Why Insolvency Disputes Arise

Insolvency disputes often stem from unpaid debts, mismanagement allegations, or breaches of fiduciary duties. For example, creditors may pursue claims against a company in liquidation, while directors might face disqualification proceedings. 

Escalation within a dispute can occur as a result of complex financial structures or fraud, requiring vigilance to navigate through it.  Our commercial litigation for complex cases services offer robust strategies to help you manage when these challenges arise.

When to Seek Legal Advice

Prompt action is critical in insolvency litigation. If you’re a creditor facing unpaid debts or a director defending against claims, consulting a solicitor early can strengthen your position. 

Our insolvency disputes solicitors provide consultations wherein they can assess your case and put together a path towards resolution, leveraging tools like freezing injunctions in the UK to protect client assets.
