In many insolvent estates the liquidators / trustees require legal assistance to recover property, documents and records which belong to the insolvent estate. This includes the following: 

• Applications to the High Court to declare certain transactions invalid. E.g. where the company disposed of assets in contravention of the Insolvency Act. 

• Action instituted against debtors who owe the insolvent estate money; 

• Holding of Insolvency Enquiries. E.g. Where the directors, debtors and other persons are being interrogated to return assets to the company which have been concealed or unlawfully disposed of.
