This area covers defending petitions to bankrupt a person, typically brought under the Insolvency Act 1986, and the related processes in England. A solicitor in this field helps a debtor or a company respond to a creditor’s petition, challenges to a petition, and any ensuing court steps. They advise on grounds to resist, prepare evidence of solvency or restructuring options, and coordinate with trustees or the Insolvency Service where needed. The work often involves court appearances, negotiating arrangements, and applying for annulment or alternative settlements to avoid a bankruptcy order.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

These matters involve specific statutory triggers, court procedures and documentation, such as responding to a petition, producing financial information, and engaging with the court and potential trustees. The solicitor handles the drafting of statements, bundles of financial evidence, and any applications to adjourn, set aside or annul a petition, as well as negotiating with creditors and presenting alternatives under the Insolvency Act 1986.

Owen was very supportive in my case and went above and beyond the call of duty. I felt confident he had my best interest at heart and was impressed with his conduct.

Tagged solicitor Eleanor Webley

As first time buyers that was great to have as a reference. Both Eleanor and Melissa kept us up to date with minimal pushing from our part. Excellent It did not state how long the process would take but it's been 3 weeks and we have a fee earner now that onboarding has taken place
