Top 10 of 960 law firms for Distressed Companies, Company Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers the way a company in financial difficulty is handled in England, including formal insolvency processes and rescue options. A solicitor in this field guides directors, creditors and shareholders through options such as administration, restructuring, Company Voluntary Arrangements and liquidation, and helps prepare and lodge the necessary applications and documents with bodies like the Court and the Insolvency Service. They may draft and negotiate a restructuring plan, liaise with administrators, liquidators and creditors, compile schedules of assets and liabilities, and ensure the process complies with statutory duties and timelines.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the provisions, procedures and interactions at the heart of corporate distress: drafting insolvency petitions and statements, advising on rescue mechanisms, negotiating with creditors, coordinating with administrators or liquidators, and managing the interplay with company directors and shareholders. They work with statutes such as the Insolvency Act 1986, the Enterprise Act 2002 and related rules, and interact with the Official Receiver, the courts, and potential pre-pack arrangements. Their involvement is often critical where a rapid, legally compliant exit or restructuring is required.

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.

Arj ArulRachel Chambers

Tagged solicitors Arj Arul and Rachel Chambers

Arj & Rachel spared no effort to help me navigate a really complex issue spanning the Companies Act and Articles of Association. This entailed really extensive reading into an issue that had been unresolved for over a year, and very swiftly the position I could take was defined clearly with full explanations given at all times. I'll will never forget how at one point he responded to developments and provided me with guidance with virtually no notice. If you want really deft handling of a situation with the highest professionalism, you have reached the right place. In every way the service provided was deft, considerate - and altogether outstanding.

Andy Herricks

Tagged solicitor Andy Herricks

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I instructed Andy to help put proper governance arrangements in place for a long-established family land-holding company. The work involved preparing a Shareholders' Agreement and advising on a number of complex issues around share transfers, succession, minority protection and company governance. Throughout the process, Andy was knowledgeable, responsive and patient in answering what was, at times, a long list of questions. He took the time to explain the legal principles behind the drafting, challenged historic practices where necessary, and helped us reach a practical solution that protects both the company and its shareholders. I particularly appreciated that he welcomed questions and provided clear explanations, enabling us to make informed decisions rather than simply accepting legal wording at face value. We're now in a much stronger governance position than when we started and have a Shareholders' Agreement that is tailored to our company and its future. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Andy and Clough & Willis for corporate and shareholder legal advice.
