Insolvency & Restructuring Support

Crownmark Lawyers provides legal support to individuals and businesses facing financial distress, operational pressure, or the need to restructure existing arrangements. Matters involving insolvency or restructuring often arise in difficult circumstances and require careful, timely advice to preserve options and manage risk.

​

We assist clients in understanding their legal position, obligations, and available pathways when financial pressure emerges. This may include advising on restructuring options, negotiating with creditors, or reviewing exposure under guarantees and security arrangements. Our focus is on clarity and control, helping clients make informed decisions at a time when uncertainty is often high.

​

Crownmark Lawyers works with business owners, directors, and stakeholders to assess the viability of existing structures and explore options for reorganisation, continuation, or orderly exit. We provide advice on directors’ duties, potential personal exposure, and compliance obligations, with a view to managing risk responsibly and lawfully.

​

Where formal insolvency processes are involved, we assist in navigating the legal framework and coordinating with insolvency practitioners and other advisers as required. We also provide advice to creditors in relation to enforcement rights, recovery options, and participation in restructuring or insolvency processes.

​

Our approach is measured and pragmatic. We aim to help clients stabilise situations where possible, reduce unnecessary escalation, and ensure that decisions are made with a clear understanding of their legal and commercial consequences.
