How we can help

We advise debtors, creditors, directors, and insolvency practitioners across every aspect of corporate and personal insolvency law.

Why acting early in an insolvency situation is critical

Insolvency law rewards those who act early and punishes those who delay. For directors, the moment a company becomes insolvent triggers legal duties that, if ignored, can result in personal liability for company debts. The safe harbour provisions offer real protection, but only if directors take qualifying steps before the situation deteriorates beyond recovery.

For creditors, early action often determines whether you recover anything at all. Assets can be dissipated quickly once a company or individual is in financial difficulty. Statutory demands, garnishee orders, and bankruptcy applications all have procedural requirements that must be followed precisely, and missing a step can result in the action failing entirely.

At ADLV Law, our insolvency lawyers have over 25 years of experience advising debtors, creditors, and insolvency practitioners across both corporate and personal insolvency. We understand the urgency that every insolvency situation demands and will move quickly to protect your position.
