International and cross border insolvency
Many businesses have foreign assets, liabilities, operations or investors.
When insolvency threatens, you must assess the values and risks of these foreign connections, and the UK and international laws and practices that apply to them.
Chris Laughton, who heads our international insolvency services, is a leading practitioner in this field, as well as being the vice-president of INSOL Europe and joint chief editor of ‘Eurofenix’, the pre-eminent European insolvency journal. Additionally, international matters feature frequently in our Insolvency blog. Specialist advice is essential and is a service which Mercer & Hole can provide either:
- Directly through our team who can identify the legal issues and advise on the appropriate remedies, or
- Through our international network of insolvency professionals, accountants (TIAG) and lawyers (TAGLaw).
We will also assist non-UK entities owning financially distressed or insolvent business interests in the UK.
