Insolvency and bankruptcy advice for debtors, creditors, and practitioners
Three things we move on
When you work with us, you will understand your rights and obligations. You will have a strategy designed to achieve the best outcome available.

Resolve efficiently

Why acting early in an insolvency situation is critical
Insolvency law rewards those who act early. For directors, the moment a company becomes insolvent triggers duties that can result in personal liability for company debts. Safe harbour offers real protection, but only if you take qualifying steps before the situation deteriorates. For creditors, early action often decides whether you recover anything at all.

Common questions
If yours is not answered here, call us and ask. The short question early is always cheaper than the long letter later.
How quickly can I speak to a lawyer?
Call 1300 654 590 and you will be put straight through to a lawyer rather than a switchboard. Tell us what the problem is and we will tell you how we can help.
How will I be charged?
For advice and documents we provide a fixed or capped quote before the work starts, so you do not carry the price risk. If you are in a dispute, we map out the process and the likely costs so you know what to expect.
Do I need a lawyer for something this small?
Often the cheapest moment to involve us is the one that feels too small to bother. If we do not think we can add real value, we will say so rather than open a file.
Can you work alongside my accountant?
Yes. A great deal of our commercial work is done alongside a client’s accountant or adviser. We are comfortable operating as one part of a wider team.
