Top 10 of 960 law firms for Directors and Insolvency – Where Do You Stand?, Company Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers the duties and liabilities of company directors and how insolvency affects those roles. It includes when a company is in trouble, what actions directors can or must take, and the consequences of decisions made while insolvent. A solicitor in this field advises on director responsibilities, fiduciary duties, and the risks of personal liability, and helps prepare and file documents with Companies House and other bodies. They also guide on restructuring, administration, or liquidation and liaise with insolvency practitioners and creditors to protect the client’s position.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Directors’ duties include acting in the best interests of the company and its creditors when insolvency looms. A solicitor drafts board resolutions, shareholder notices, and governance documents; reviews and negotiates restructuring plans; and coordinates with insolvency practitioners, the Insolvency Service, and court proceedings. They handle investigations into conduct, advise on wrongful trading risks, and prepare representations to creditors or the court to secure a controlled wind-down or rescue.

Carla Murray

Tagged solicitor Carla Murray

As a new founder stepping into external legal counsel for the first time, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I run a niche business, and it was really important to me that whoever I worked with actually understood not just the legal side, but the vision, direction, and specific needs of what I’m building. From the very first conversation, she completely got it. She took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve, asked the right questions, and translated complex legal points into clear, practical guidance that made sense for my stage of growth. I never once felt overwhelmed or out of my depth, which, as a first-time founder with some legal knowledge massively helped make the process really efficient I felt supported, understood, and genuinely looked after throughout. For something that initially felt daunting, the experience couldn’t have gone smoother. It gave me real confidence as I take the next steps in growing my business. An easy 5-star service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carla to any founder, especially those taking their first step into external legal support.

Steph Crowther

Tagged solicitor Steph Crowther

James and his team were very good and got my flat purchase done pretty quickly, only complaint really is as some of my deposit was a gift they wanted the gifters life story as well as a fee to process this, despite this already all being approved by my mortage provider. Other than this they were very good and responded to most queries I had within an hour or so and much better than other solicitors than my friends had used.

Mohammed Rahman

Tagged solicitor Mohammed Rahman

We are purchasing in a company name using another solicitor. They told us last minute that we need to use another Solicitor and give a Personal Guarantee. Mohammed was recommended and he explained the reasons why we needed it. Why the broker or their referral solicitor couldn't explain this to us earlier, I do not know. BMTC dealt with it last minute and Mohammed treated us like humans and not just throwing complicated jargon at us. We managed to complete on target despite this being thrown at us last minute. Thank you

Keith Melling

Tagged solicitor Keith Melling

Keith Melling and his team have provided invaluable guidance to Next Generation Travel on a wide range of matters, from company formation to management share incentive schemes, acquisitions, and complex issues like trademark infringements. Their advice is always clear, comprehensive and tailored to our business needs, allowing us to navigate legal challenges with confidence. We have worked with major Manchester based law firms in the past, but the level of service and expertise we receive from Napthens, under the leadership of Keith, rival those of much larger firms, and at a much more competitive price.
