Corporate Insolvency

Our experienced insolvency law team can help you navigate through all the legal issues in relation to the winding up of companies in insolvency, whether the winding up be voluntary or involuntary. Our extensive experience includes working with creditors, debtor companies, directors of debtor companies and insolvency practitioners.

If you are a creditor owed a debt by a company, we can guide you through the relevant considerations and strategies to recover the debt using the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), for example issuing a Creditors Statutory Demand.

If you are a director of a debtor company that has been served with a Statutory Demand, we can advise you about the company’s options to deal with the Demand, including making an application to a court to have the Demand set aside. We can also advise you about voluntarily putting the company under external administration.
