This work covers defending, on behalf of individuals or their estates, actions brought by a bankruptcy trustee seeking to recover property, trace assets, challenge pre-bankruptcy transactions, or recover misapplied funds. A solicitor practising in this area reviews the bankruptcy order and related documents, drafts a defence, and negotiates settlements. They instruct or coordinate investigators, gather financial records, and represent the client in court proceedings in the County Court or High Court, depending on the claim, to protect legal rights and counter claims arising from insolvency.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The action may hinge on timely responses, the validity of transfers, or preferences shown before bankruptcy. A solicitor provides guidance on strategy, helps preserve client position through disclosure controls and interim applications, and coordinates with insolvency professionals to contest or negotiate outcomes within the framework of the Insolvency Act 1986 and related rules.
