Corporate Recovery

Corporate recovery is the term used to describe the mechanisms for effecting a turnaround of a company in financial difficulty. Corporate recovery is generally managed by a specialist accountant or insolvency practitioner, but there are significant issues on which the company and its directors will require legal advice, particularly in connection with directors’ duties and liabilities, personal and corporate guarantees, debt management and contracts with creditors, financial institutions and, ultimately, liquidators, administrators and receivers.

A corporate recovery scheme may at its most extreme involve a complete restructuring of a company or group.
