Insolvency

Our team represents financiers, insolvency practitioners and directors in all aspects of insolvency and reconstruction. We work with other specialists in the firm to present a range of solutions to clients affected by financial stress or insolvency. We focus on preserving value in assets and securities and, if necessary, enforcement of security within the framework of formal insolvency regimes. The DibbsBarker Insolvency team were recognised as winners of the Acquisition International Legal Award for Australian Restructuring & Insolvency Law Firm of the Year in November 2011.

We work with clients in a broad range of industries, but with particular expertise in financial services, insurance and construction. We advise companies and their directors on the most appropriate solutions to their financial position, whether it be assisting in the recovery of large outstanding amounts, or restructuring the business of the company with or without a formal insolvency scheme. We act for insolvency practitioners on liquidations, voluntary administrations and receiverships. We advise major banks and financial institutions on insolvency and debt recovery matters.

Our services include advice and solutions in relation to:

bankruptcy
breaches of director's duties
debt agreements
director penalty notices
distressed debt investing
liquidation
oppression suits
priority disputes and security contests
receivership
reconstructions
voluntary administration.

Our team has been involved in many of
