"Despite the limited size of the formal insolvency market in Northern Ireland, this "well-respected" full-service commercial outfit attracts a significant share of receiverships, administrations and insolvency-related transactions. The lawyers enjoy solid relationships with major insolvency practitioners (IPs) and proffer advice to directors, charge holders and creditors alike. According to leading sources, the practice is involved in "a good selection of the more prominent cases" in the region. The group's proficiency in cases with a cross-border element was highlighted by a recent standout transaction which saw the lawyers advising the administrators of the Northern Ireland subsidiary of medical equipment suppliers TriVirix on the insolvency of the business, as well as intra-group retention of title claims. The company's financial difficulties attracted significant regional media attention due to the involvement of public funds in propping up the business, the large sums owed to creditors and the threat of wide-ranging redundancies. Similar scrutiny has been paid to the collapse of the Emerging Business Trust, with the team's lawyers acting for liquidators in investigating the extent of funds available to reimburse creditors."
