Debt recovery, bankruptcy and insolvency
Debt-related disputes and insolvency matters involve intricate procedures, creditor rights and the management of obligations under law.
Strategic legal advice is vital to recover debts, manage risk and support trustees, liquidators and other stakeholders in complex insolvency scenarios.
Our expertise
Chambers Russell Lawyers acts for creditors, directors, liquidators, trustees and receivers to secure recovery outcomes through the disciplined use of statutory rights, insolvency mechanisms and court enforcement processes. We act on individual matters as well as high-volume recovery programs for corporate creditors.
Our approach begins with early assessment to determine the most effective recovery pathway – whether negotiated resolution, formal demand, insolvency action or litigation. Escalation is deliberate, proportionate and commercially justified.
Where payment is not forthcoming, we deploy proportionate statutory tools to advance our clients’ position, including formal demands, court proceedings, bankruptcy and winding up applications and targeted enforcement measures designed to convert legal entitlement into actual recovery. We also act for insolvency practitioners in asset realisation, voidable transactions, preference payments, claims against directors or third parties, possession applications and all manner of property disputes.
Throughout every stage we remain commercially focused, cost transparent and outcome driven. Our objective is clear: maximise recovery, minimise delay and reduce future exposure.
