Insolvency & restructuring

Insolvency & restructuring overview

Gatehouse Chambers’ insolvency barristers deal with the full range of issues relating to insolvency, from looking at strategies to avoid insolvency including mediation through to individual, partnership or corporate voluntary arrangements, moratoria, administration, receivership and restructuring.

We act in both domestic and international insolvencies and regularly work with lawyers in other jurisdictions. Our barristers act for companies, creditors and insolvency practitioners in both domestic, offshore and international liquidations (including the Channel Islands, Caribbean, the US, Hong Kong, Russia, Korea). Details of our international experience can be found here.

The team regularly contributes to Practical Law and LexisNexis (including their regular Insolvency Case Alerter) as well as other publications.

Sarah McCann is the editor of Sweet & Maxwell’s Construction Insolvency (7th edition, 2022), a key text covering both formal insolvency procedures and related financial protections such as bonds and guarantees. The team has also rewritten three company insolvency volumes of Atkin’s Court Forms following changes to the Insolvency Rules. In addition, Alaric Watson has authored two books on personal insolvency for Edward Elgar Publishing, and Sarah Clarke contributes to Tolley’s Insolvency Law.

Our insolvency barristers are ranked in Chambers UK, the Legal 500 and Chambers Global for Restructuring/Insolvency.
