How Irwin Mitchell Can Help You
Finding the right way forward can be difficult when it comes to the insolvency of a partnership. More than one alternative might be open to you, so it’s important to get independent advice about your options.
We will tailor a rescue or insolvency package that meets the best interests of all partners and stakeholders. Our team negotiate directly with banks, HMRC and other creditors, and work hard to create agreeable solutions for all sides.
Throughout the process, we’ll provide practical commercial advice to help you and your partners find the best route to recovery, or the least painful way of winding down the business. Where appropriate we can provide advice on different solutions, such as:
- Administration
- Individual and Partnership Voluntary Arrangements
- Sale of the business and/or assets (including work in progress)
- Solvent winding up
- Insolvent liquidation
