Distressed M&A covers buying or selling a business that is insolvent or near insolvency, including companies in administration or under insolvency proceedings. A solicitor in this area handles complex restructurings, asset acquisitions, and rescue transactions, where the goal is to preserve value for stakeholders. They translate financial distress into a deal, draft and negotiate asset or share purchase agreements, and coordinate with insolvency practitioners, directors, and creditors. The work often revolves around mitigating loss, preserving going‑concern value, and ensuring compliance with insolvency rules and competition law.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor conducts targeted due diligence on the distressed entity, negotiates with administrators or liquidators, drafts or revises asset or share purchase agreements, negotiates warranties and indemnities, and manages transactional steps such as the transfer of contracts, assignment of leases, and handling of employee matters through TUPE or equivalent processes. They may advise on pre‑pack arrangements, bid strategies, and regulatory or competition considerations, ensuring the deal aligns with insolvency procedures and creditor interests.
