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.

Tagged solicitor Matthew Clark

We used BTMK to remortgage one of the properties we own in our business. Being a solicitor myself, I know what I expect in terms of service from a law firm and BTMK met and surpassed those expectations. Their pricing is incredibly competitive and their communication was prompt and friendly. We were dealing with tight deadlines and a few hurdles which didn’t phase the team, with them offering proactive solutions. A big thank you to Hazel, Matthew, Irfan and Tobias. Would definitely use again and recommend BTMK.

Tagged solicitor Richard Clapham

I selected Downs Law to manage the sale of my company. It was clear from the initial consultation that Downs law has a very competent team of experts. Richard and his colleagues were excellent every step of the way - providing clear advice, being readily available when questions arose, and being extremely diligent in their duties. Couldn't ask for more.
