Distressed investing covers buying or financing troubled businesses or assets, often to facilitate a rescue, restructuring or orderly wind‑down. A solicitor in this area handles due diligence, negotiates terms of acquisition or rescue, drafts and reviews asset and share purchase agreements, and coordinates with creditors, administrators, and insolvency practitioners. They help structure pre‑pack deals, standslides, or formal insolvency processes and advise on risk, regulatory compliance, and the potential for value recovery.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The work hinges on complex provisions, including the interplay of rescue strategies, administration or liquidation, pre‑pack sales, and priority of claims. A solicitor coordinates with insolvency practitioners, purchasers, and financiers, and structures deals to preserve value while managing competing interests, restrictive covenants, and regulatory and disclosure requirements. They also navigate due diligence, warranties, and potential directors' duties arising in troubled scenarios.
