Restructuring & Insolvency

In the unfortunate event that a business is facing financial difficulties and is unable to repay its debts, it is crucial to seek professional legal advice expeditiously to prevent the issue from spiralling out of control. To prevent a company from insolvency, our Restructuring team seeks to try and make the debts owed more manageable and repayable by making changes to the operations and structure of the company in question. This is the first direction the company should take if it is facing financial difficulties.

Sometimes, however, if insolvency becomes the only possible solution, then our Insolvency team is well experienced in guiding the companies in Hong Kong through the process. Our Insolvency team will be with our clients every step of the way, providing assistance where needed and ensuring that each necessary procedure is completed swiftly and efficiently.
