Our insolvency lawyers have experience in advising on and drafting statutory demands for payment of debts owed by companies.

Our insolvency lawyers can advise you on the appropriate course of action to take, depending on your circumstances. We can also help you to draft the statutory demand and represent you in any subsequent proceedings.

We can advise on the best course of action to take and help debtors to negotiate with creditors. We also assist corporations with challenging and setting aside statutory demands if they are unreasonable or unfairly served.

The process of voluntary administration allows a company to restructure its affairs in an effort to navigate away from liquidation. It is overseen by a voluntary administrator, who is appointed by the company’s directors or creditors.

There are several reasons why a company may go into voluntary administration, including continuing losses, inability to borrow further funds, no access to alternate funds, creditors’ being unpaid outside trading terms, or suppliers pressuring companies to resume supply. The voluntary administrator will assess the company’s financial situation and develop a plan for restructuring its affairs. If the voluntary administrator is successful in restructuring the company, it may be able to avoid liquidation and continue operating.

Lewis Kitson Lawyers can advise and represent insolvency practitioners, debtors, creditors, and company directors in voluntary administrations. Our experienced team can provide specific advice relevant to your situation and will support you throughout the process, from the appointment of the administrator to the outcome of the administration.

We understand the complex legal issues involved in insolvency matters and will work closely with you to navigate this difficult time. Call today to speak with one of our insolvency lawyers.

Insolvent trading occurs when a company cannot meet its financial obligations as and when they are due. Insolvency law in Australia is designed to protect creditors by ensuring that companies do not trade while insolvent which puts creditors at risk. If a company does trade while insolvent, the directors can be liable for the debts incurred.

Corporate insolvency can happen for a number of reasons, including poor financial management, economic downturns, or unexpected expenses. This is known as an insolvent trading claim. Our insolvency lawyers have extensive experience in advising on and defending insolvent trading claims.

Insolvent trading is a serious offence at law in Australia and can result in personal liability for directors. If you are a director of a company that is insolvent or you suspect that your company may be insolvent, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

At Lewis Kitson Lawyers, our insolvency lawyers have extensive experience advising clients on all aspects of insolvency law. We can provide you with professional advice on your obligations as a director and help you to minimise your risk of personal liability.
