Bankruptcy, Insolvency & Dispute
Resolution Experts

We are specialists in providing expert bankruptcy advice and help with:

Defending Bankruptcy

  • Setting aside statutory demands
  • Defending bankruptcy petitions
  • Negotiating with your creditors and the HMRC
  • Advising on individual voluntary arrangements (IVA’s)

We do not act for trustees in bankruptcy, administrators or liquidators, i.e. insolvency practitioners to give you peace of mind that there is no conflict of interests. This is our USP. Most bankruptcy and insolvency solicitors do.

Setting aside statutory demands

We help setting aside statutory demands. A statutory demand states that if you do not pay your debt, the person claiming money may start bankruptcy proceedings against you to declare you bankrupt.

How we can help
We challenge the statutory demand, if for example, there is a genuine dispute about the debt.
Urgency as time limits
There is an 18-day time limit to apply to the court to have the demand set aside. If your application is successful, the court will set aside the statutory demand. You may also obtain a cost order in your favour. However, careful thought needs to be given before making an application to set aside a statutory demand, as if you lose, you could end up paying the creditor’s costs, increasing the overall amount you owe.

Defending bankruptcy petitions

We help dismiss bankruptcy petitions and have a strong expertise in this area.

If you are served with a statutory demand and you do not respond or pay the debt within 21 days, your creditor, known as “the petitioning creditor”, can present a bankruptcy petition against you to make you bankrupt. This results in a bankruptcy petition hearing.

We can help you defend a bankruptcy petition and explore the various technical defences you may have. It is important that you arrange representation at your bankruptcy hearing due to the danger of you being declared bankrupt.

You may lose your property and assets if a bankruptcy order is made against you and your bank accounts will be frozen.

The Official Receiver will ask you to attend an interview to investigate your finances and may appoint a trustee in bankruptcy if you are declared bankrupt. This can be an intrusive and stressful process and so expert professional advice should be sought.

How we can help
We have over 20 years of experience in defending bankruptcy petitions, involving;
  • Judgment Creditors
  • The HMRC
  • Supervisors of Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs)
  • Liquidators of companies
Urgency as time limits
We defend bankruptcy petitions to prevent a bankruptcy order being made against you. You have filing requirements, including evidence before the hearing with time limits. We aim to resolve disputes quickly and cost-effectively.
