Voluntary Arrangements
We can issue petitions, or defend and advise on the grounds for opposing. Drafting evidence, negotiating and representation in court are all part of our comprehensive bankruptcy service.
Winding up petitions

Director disqualifications
Following company insolvency the Directors might find themselves the subject of disqualification proceedings. Newtons Solicitors negotiate on your behalf to avoid the expense of proceedings and reduce the period of disqualification.
Wrongful trading
Following insolvency, personal liability can arise for the Directors if wrongful trading, breach of duty, transactions at undervalue or preference payments can be proven. We can advise and provide representation in these circumstances.
