Insolvency

Our specialist team advises on corporate and personal insolvency, whether contentious or non-contentious. It includes two highly regarded licensed insolvency practitioners.

We offer enormous experience of delivering pragmatic, tailored solutions.  We look at the ‘big picture’, focus on the detail and draw on cutting edge expertise.

Clients include national, regional and ‘boutique’ insolvency practitioners, lenders, directors, creditors, landlords and individuals.  We often deal with complex and difficult situations.

Our service is about clear, reasoned recommendations, plain English and a collaborative, approachable style.  We want the best results for our clients.

The team are recognised by independent directories such as the Legal 500 and Chambers.

The Legal 500 2011 says; Providing a ‘premium service’ together with a ‘great blend of experience and value for money’, Coffin Mew LLP provides advice to insolvency practitioners. In 2010 it advised Portland on a partnership administration, and also advised on several pre-pack administrations.  Malcolm Niekirk is ‘technically strong’, and Tim Gleeson is recommended.

Chambers and Partners, 2012 says:  This team advises on a wide range of insolvency and restructuring matters including matters with an international element or sensitive regulatory component. It recently advised the administrators on the sale of Horse & Country TV. One client says: "They were great at helping us through a highly technically complicated procedure."

The "highly friendly and approachable" Malcolm Niekirk is a "great technician" and is "highly commercial," sources say. He focuses on advising on the non-contentious and corporate areas of the practice.
