Advice to Office Holders
Leathes Prior advises many Licensed Insolvency Practitioners, both locally and nationally, who accept appointments as:
- Liquidator
- Trustee in Bankruptcy
- Supervisor
- Administrator or
- Receiver
Leathes Prior has advised on all aspects and legal problems faced by Insolvency Practitioners including (amongst other things):
- Insolvency Act and Insolvency Rules Procedure
- Validity of appointment of Office Holders and their powers
- Voidable and antecedent transactions
- ROT claims and creditors’ rights
- Validity of fixed and floating charges and securities
- Wrongful and fraudulent trading
- Company and Individual Voluntary Arrangements
- Creditors’ meetings
- Proof of Debt
- Misfeasance
- Administration Orders
- European Legislation
At Leathes Prior we recognise that Office Holders may not be in funds to finance litigation and therefore we are prepared to act on formal or informal conditional fee agreements, with or without the benefit of after-the-event insurance protection.
