Bankruptcy and Insolvency

We provide support to you in the field of bankruptcy and insolvency by advising you, as a debtor or creditor, with regard to your rights and obligations where a debtor's assets are not sufficient to meet your obligations to creditors.

Reviewing assets and determining their availability to creditors;
Preparing, completing, and filing reorganization documents, including proposals, bankruptcy assignments, and informal negotiations and settlements with creditors;

If you have a claim against a person or business which is in financial difficulty, we can also provide advice and representation on:

Your position in relation to any bankruptcy, proposal, or other reorganization proceedings;
The legal consequences of those proceedings and of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act for you and your claim;
Procedures you may wish to commence in Bankruptcy Court to petition a debtor into bankruptcy;
