Business recovery and insolvency

Our Business Recovery and Insolvency team are dedicated to dealing with businesses and individuals who find themselves in financial difficulty. A business facing insolvency can be one of the most traumatic and distressing times an organisation can face and our professional and efficient team can help you make the difficult decisions you may face with sound advice and understanding support.

Whenever our services are needed, our team, which includes licensed insolvency practitioners, will always look for a positive outcome from what is usually a distressed situation. Our corporate finance team may also be of aid to the organisation in such cases.

There are a number of issues that the organisation or individual may face when tackling this issue.

With our insightful knowledge and practical experience of the situations that may arise during a time of insolvency, Johnston Carmichael can offer many services at this time.
