Under United Kingdom law, if a company is trading insolvently, a director may be liable for wrongful trading.

Many directors fall into the trap of ignoring the warning signs, simply expecting the difficulties to resolve themselves over time. The earlier directors tackle a company's problems, not only will they protect themselves from any possible future legal action, but the better the chance of constructing a plan that will ensure the survival of the business.

In addition to accepting appointments in receivership and liquidation, we provide innovative and practical solutions by way of administration and voluntary arrangements, both formal and informal.
