Representing a Creditor
Pitman Cohen LLP, Licensed Insolvency Practitioners, undertake exclusively insolvency and debt restructuring work.
We are specialists and experts in our field.
This means that in addition to providing advice and assistance to those with debt problems, we are exceptionally well placed to assist creditors who unwittingly become involved in insolvency proceedings, or who are considering using insolvency proactively as a debt recovery mechanism.
Our partners have substantial experience in representing creditors, including trade and expense creditors, finance creditors and Local Authorities. We can advise and assist with helping them to maximise their recovery prospects, often by taking simple, cost-effective steps (such as the correct completion and submission of proof of debts and proxy forms and keeping a watching brief on practitioners' fees in insolvency cases).
We can assist clients directly in issuing Statutory Demands in order to recover their debts and also assist professional advisers who are considering deploying insolvency proceedings on behalf of their clients with our hands-on knowledge of the mechanics of insolvency.
We are more than happy to accept nominations as Liquidator or Trustee in cases where creditors feel that there are matters which warrant further investigation, and will ensure that referring parties receive prompt and detailed feedback as to the progress of our investigations and their ultimate recovery prospects.
We are also happy for our colleagues and clients to simply "pick our brains" on any aspect of insolvency law and practice on an ad hoc basis.
Our initial consultations and requests for telephone advice are free of charge.
