Insolvency Advice for Creditors 

When a customer/supplier starts to show signs of financial distress, quick and direct action is required to protect your position. Our team helps creditors recover debt, challenge questionable transactions, and deal with complex insolvency procedures. 

We work closely with lenders, businesses, trade suppliers, finance providers and professional advisers to safeguard value, manage risk and achieve the best possible outcome, swiftly and strategically. 

Debt recovery and enforcement 

We act quickly to recover debt, enforce security, and minimise interruption to your business. Our services include: 

  • issuing statutory demands and winding‑up petitions 
  • enforcing guarantees, indemnities and other security packages 
  • negotiating payment plans and settlement strategies 
  • advising on cross‑border recoveries. 

Challenging antecedent transactions 

If a debtor has moved assets or payments improperly, we help you take action. Our team assesses the merits of challenge and leads robust litigation where appropriate. 

Protecting creditor rights in insolvency processes – supporting secured lenders 

For banks, alternative lenders and asset‑based finance providers, we offer specialist support in: 

  • reviewing covenant breaches and enforcement options 
  • appointment of administrators or LPA receivers 
  • realising secured assets 
  • advising on restructuring proposals 
  • responding to fraudulent behaviour, phoenixing, or asset stripping. 

Birketts is a very steady firm and tends to come in more reasonably priced than its peers.
