Debt Recovery & Insolvency

Practice Area

Effective Debt Recovery & Insolvency Solutions

Our Debt Recovery & Insolvency practice assists creditors, debtors, financial institutions, and insolvency practitioners in recovering outstanding debts and navigating insolvency situations. We understand that debt recovery requires a combination of legal rigour, commercial pragmatism, and strategic pressure to achieve results efficiently and cost-effectively.

We handle the full spectrum of debt recovery work — from demand letters and negotiated settlements through to court proceedings, enforcement of judgments, and realisation of securities. For secured creditors, we advise on the enforcement of charges, debentures, and other security interests, including the appointment of receivers and managers.

In the insolvency context, we advise on both corporate and individual insolvency matters under the Insolvency Act, 2015, including administration, company voluntary arrangements, receivership, and liquidation. We act for creditors seeking to maximise recoveries, debtors seeking restructuring solutions, and insolvency practitioners managing formal insolvency processes.
