Navigating Distress with Confidence

When a business faces financial difficulty, it’s natural to feel pressure from all sides. Cashflow tightens, creditor demands increase and decisions become harder to make. Moorfields provides calm, expert support to help clients understand their position, assess options and act quickly – whether that means recovery, restructure or formal insolvency.

As licensed insolvency practitioners, we manage the process from start to finish, taking on the responsibility so you can focus on the future.

Focused on Outcomes, Not Just Process

Moorfields approaches insolvency with a commercial lens. We don’t just process filings — we look at every route available to maximise returns, protect jobs or preserve business continuity where possible. We also help directors understand their legal responsibilities and take steps to avoid unnecessary risk or personal liability. Whether it’s a controlled wind-down or the opportunity for a turnaround, we help our clients make informed, confident decisions under pressure.

Our Insolvency & Recovery Services

Administration

Company administration is often used to protect a business from creditor action while a rescue or sale is explored.

Company Voluntary Arrangement

A Company Voluntary Arrangement, as CVA, allows a business to reach a binding agreement with its creditors to repay debts over time while continuing to trade.

Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation

When a business is no longer viable, a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) allows directors to take control of the closure process and meet their legal obligations.

Compulsory Liquidation

Compulsory liquidation occurs when creditors take formal legal action to close a company that cannot pay its debts.

LPA Receiverships

LPA Receiverships give secured lenders the power to recover outstanding debt by appointing a receiver over property assets.

Members’ Voluntary Liquidation

A Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) is a formal process used to close a solvent company and distribute surplus funds to shareholders.

Personal Insolvency

Personal insolvency can feel overwhelming, but there are options. Moorfields provide expert guidance to individuals struggling with unmanageable debt, helping them understand the best route forward.
