At Davis Woolfe, we understand that insolvency—whether personal or corporate—can bring ventures and personal ambitions to an abrupt end. In our experience, the early stages are critical; missteps can result in unnecessarily damaging outcomes. With the right guidance and strategic planning from the outset, years of litigation can often be avoided.

That’s why our legal team is focused on helping you make the right decisions from day one. No matter how challenging your circumstances, we cut through complexity, stabilise your position and deliver practical solutions where others may not.

Our strength in depth of our legal team allows us to advise across the full spectrum of personal and corporate insolvency matters, including:

Our team’s breadth of experience acting for creditors, debtors and insolvency practitioners equips us to be well-versed in the incentives and levers that influence all parties involved. It is this deep understanding of the commercial and legal environments in which our clients operate that informs our approach.

Drawing on years of practical experience, we work diligently and expeditiously with your team to assess and diagnose the issues at hand, offering considered and proactive advice to achieve the best possible outcomes.

At Davis Woolfe, we create recovery services personalised to each client to achieve a quick, positive and cost-effective outcome. Our highly experienced legal team provides a full-cycle service, guiding you from the initial letter of claim right through to the conclusion of court proceedings and enforcement action.

Our Debt Recovery Services:

  • Pre-Action Advice – assessing claim viability and legal position.
  • Letter Before Action – formal demand letters to debtors, setting deadlines for payment.
  • Claims – issuing court proceedings to enforce debt recovery and responding to defences or counterclaims.
  • Judgment & Enforcement – obtaining and enforcing court judgments.
  • Negotiation & Settlement – exploring alternative dispute resolution options to minimise legal costs and maximise recovery.

Whether you have been served with a statutory demand (or require assistance in making an application to set one aside), or a Bankruptcy Petition has been presented against you and the matter is presently before the Court, or indeed if a Bankruptcy Order has already been made which you wish to contest — we are able to assist.

Our legal team at Davis Woolfe has considerable experience in all aspects of personal insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings. We advise at every stage, including upon the grounds available for challenging a Bankruptcy Order or seeking its annulment, resisting applications made by Trustees in Bankruptcy and opposing the imposition of Bankruptcy Restrictions Orders or Undertakings.

We recognise that such matters are of the utmost seriousness to those involved. When the stakes are high, you can be assured that we listen carefully, act decisively and deliver solutions that bring value to every engagement.

The insolvency of a business partnership raises difficult questions, and the consequences for individual partners can be onerous depending upon the partnership status.

Our team of highly experienced solicitors are here to provide expert guidance and support to ensure the best solution is identified and implemented. We adopt a practical approach, seeking solutions that serve the interests of individual partners, the partnership as a whole and third parties affected by the insolvency.

We provide advice tailored to the specific circumstances of each case, having regard to the interests of all partners and other parties concerned. Where necessary, we conduct negotiations with banks, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and other creditors with a view to reaching acceptable arrangements.

We shall advise you throughout on the practical and commercial aspects of the matter, whether the objective is to trade out of difficulty or to bring the partnership to an end in the most orderly manner possible. Depending upon the circumstances, we may advise upon such matters as:

  • Administration
  • Individual Voluntary Arrangements and Partnership Voluntary Arrangements
  • The sale of the business or its assets (including work in progress)
  • Voluntary winding up of a solvent partnership
  • Compulsory winding up where the partnership is insolvent
