Top 10 of 776 law firms for Bankruptcy and Divorce, Debt and Tax Law

This work covers insolvency, i.e., bankruptcy, and family dissolution through divorce, as they affect businesses and their owners in England. A solicitor in this area handles complex financial restructuring and the legal processes that accompany the end of business life or the separation of a family business, including dealing with creditors, estates, and court applications. They draft and file petitions for bankruptcy, administer or propose arrangements to creditors, advise on filing for bankruptcy protection, and manage ancillary relief and divorce proceedings where business interests are at stake. They also navigate the interplay between insolvency laws and family law where business assets or income are involved, ensuring compliance with the Insolvency Act 1986, the Insolvency Rules, and related family proceedings rules. The work often hinges on timely, precise action to protect clients' financial position and future opportunities, including potential sequestration, liquidation, or settlement of liabilities, and the orderly resolution of marital or civil partner disputes impacting business interests.
