Insolvency

Hewetts have for many years undertaken a broad spectrum of insolvency related work on behalf of Companies, Individuals and Insolvency Practitioners. We act for Directors of Companies in relation to Insolvency issues and Company Administration matters, as well as for individuals in arranging Voluntary Arrangements and Bankruptcy Issues.

Hewetts have considerable experience in acting for Insolvency Practitioners in:

•     Asset disposal Agreements
•     Transfer of property
•     Enforcement of VAs
•     Applications for Annulment
•     Wrongful trading investigations
•     Phoenix Company issues
•     Directors liabilities

We can assist you with:

•     Administrative Receivership
•     Receivership
  
•     Moratoriums
•     Corporate Voluntary Arrangements
•     Liquidators

Hewetts act for Directors of companies in relation to Insolvency issues and Company Administration matters. As a Director you need to be aware that if your company goes into liquidation or is wound up then liquidators and administrators have the power to look back through past Company transactions and, if they feel it right, to hold Director’s personally liable for some of the actions of that Company. We can advise you on what actions could be construed as wrongful or even fraudulent trading. We can advise you on what actions you are required and expected to take before the Company goes bust to prove that you did what was best for the Company and it’s creditors. We can also act for you if you are already being accused of wrongful or fraudulent trading.

Hewetts also act for individuals in arranging Voluntary Arrangements and Bankruptcy issues. We can help you appoint Supervisors for individual voluntary arrangements and help you liase with them with regard their progress. Please see the ‘Bankruptcy’ page for more information.

We offer free initial advice, regardless of whether or not you later wish to instruct us to act for you.
