Providing end-to-end support for company secretaries and legal advisors

Managing governance and compliance during a restructure or wind-down is complex. Company secretaries often face the challenge of coordinating statutory filings, shareholder communications and regulatory obligations while ensuring that every step is accurate and defensible.

Group simplification projects add another layer of complexity, requiring careful planning to reduce cost and risk without disrupting operations.

For legal advisors, the pressure lies in guiding clients through technical processes such as Members’ voluntary liquidation, enforcement appointments or litigation support. These matters demand precision, speed and a partner who understands the legal framework as well as the commercial realities. Whether it’s preparing for an enforcement scenario or supporting a client through a solvent wind-down, having an experienced restructuring partner can make all the difference.
