Restructuring/Insolvency

About

Provided by Mills Oakley

We provide strategic advice to insolvency practitioners, creditors, stakeholders and directors on how best to deal with a company’s financial difficulties or potential insolvency. Our lawyers are recommended by leading independent commentators such as Chambers and the Legal 500 Asia-Pacific.


We have acted on behalf of various stakeholders in some of Australia’s largest corporate insolvencies.


We also assist directors and shareholders to come to an arrangement with creditors and restructure capital, either informally or through the external administration process. We also represent directors involved in ASIC reviews, investigations and prosecutions and act on behalf of financiers and creditors who may suffer an exposure as a result of a failed company.
