How can we help professional firms?
Why would
professional firms find our services useful?
Insolvency is a highly specialised field. It involves qualifications,
additional training and practical work. There is a monitoring unit watching
over you and a lot of extra fees and charges to pay. So specialised is it, in
fact, that a special licence is required to be able to practice it. So it is
not really surprising that there are so few insolvency practitioners around.
Yet in these days of financial crises, insolvency issues touch everyone at one
time or another.
Imagine the position: you are a solicitor or an accountant
and an existing client comes in to tell you that he thinks he is or may soon be
going bust. You will, of course, chat with him about his situation but there
may well come a point when the technical issues and practicalities of his
insolvent situation mean that you need some specialist advice. At this point,
you call into the meeting one of the chaps from your insolvency department. What happens if you don’t have one? If
not, perhaps you have a colleague in another office who you can invite into the
discussion. What happens if there is
nobody available?
The answer is that any firm without an insolvency
department needs that element of support, especially in today’s economic
climate.
And when you need it, you need it now!

What else can we offer to professional firms?
Accountancy firms
Have you thought of solvency health checks for your clients?
An insolvent client is generally a lost client.
Of course accountants are well able to look at a set of
accounts and see if the financial position is deteriorating but think of the
peripherals – matters which an insolvency practitioner thinks of as a matter of
course because he has to handle them every day!

Law firms
Would you like your own in-house insolvency adviser whom you pay only when you need him? Look no further – just sign up for our Telephone Advice Line. You can use it for yourselves or your clients at will and on demand, subject only to availability. Just pick up the phone!
We know we do not need to tell law firms about the costs of litigation. How many clients decide not to pursue a dispute because they feel the risk on costs is too great? Do you see good cases lost or compromised because of costs?
A range of alternative dispute resolution procedures from mediation to arbitration is available. Check out the alternative dispute resolution section of our site and see how we can help. In particular take note of our trouble-shooting and problem solving service in which we are happy to work alongside solicitors for the benefit of clients.
