Corporate insolvency
Chargebacks: a potential shield for customers impacted by insolvent retailers

Together, we’ll deal with it.
Insolvency that puts people first.
Approach
We are insolvency and turnaround teams, who help both companies and individuals to recover from difficult business or personal financial situations and assist the creditors attached to these matters.
When this can’t be achieved, we help wind down operations or manage personal insolvency procedures, and recover secured debts for creditors with expert knowledge, delivered with thought and care.

Our people know how to turn a business around and straighten out a deteriorating personal financial situation. They understand insolvency at the deepest level and are always keen to find the right answers. Importantly, our people have the care factor for those affected by the insolvency situation. This encompasses creditors and their position; if we detect wrongdoing by the failed entity, we’ll make sure we do our best to help right those wrongs that both the insolvency framework and commerciality allows.
Solving the right problems at the right time can be the difference between a business surviving or failing. Likewise, it can be the difference between debts being recoverable or written off. Our people can identify the right action plan for each unique situation, helping businesses and individuals to pivot out of difficult times where possible, or manage the insolvency circumstances effectively for debtors and creditors alike.
We invest in purpose-built, insolvency-tech to speed up delivery and open up good communication with creditors. We constantly look for new ways to apply tech in our business, helping us become more efficient and deliver better outcomes to all parties.
Our strength is augmented through the resources of a national brand, enabling us to take on large matters with confidence. At the same time, we’re accessible both in the major cities and regional areas, providing local knowledge and local experience.
Case Study
A small suburban, family-run warehouse churned through hundreds of embroidery orders for wholesalers, local sporting clubs, and schools. The heat was on as staff and machines are working overtime to meet demand. Passer-bys would not be wrong to assume this business is thriving.
However, the director was dealing with the news that the ATO refused a last-ditch payment arrangement and is continuing with its application to wind up the company.
The situation appeared bleak with the company hanging by a thread, but we were optimistic—for several reasons.
