How we can help
Getting the right professional advice as soon as you start experiencing financial difficulties greatly increases your chances of regaining control and avoiding a formal insolvency procedure.
Evelyn Partners' restructuring and insolvency practitioners combine in-depth expertise and broad experience to provide advice and assistance to all types of businesses and organisations encountering financial difficulties.
Our clients include the boards of companies, shareholders/ owners, lenders, borrowers, customers, employees and other individual creditors.
Our team assists clients with clear and highly-effective advice, including business advisory services, negotiations relating to the restructuring of a business, debt restructuring or, as a last resort, a formal insolvency. In many cases we act as a bridge between key stakeholders to enable viable practical solutions to be found.
Evelyn Partners' advisory, restructuring and insolvency team consists of 17 highly-skilled qualified accountants and insolvency practitioners. Over time, we have developed a series of high-quality solutions from an advisory and insolvency perspective. By drawing on our expertise, we are able to tailor these solutions to many industries.
Our goal is to maximise the possibilities for ongoing business operations, both in part or as a whole. In what can be testing times for any business, trust and dependability are key requirements in a client relationship to help achieve the best possible outcomes. Our long-term involvement in a number of cases has helped us build these relationships with key stakeholders.
Our team has been involved in a number of high-profile restructuring and formal insolvency cases in the UK, both as a representative of the company or its owners, and on behalf of significant creditors, banks or contracting partners.
We are committed to maintaining a team able to achieve pragmatic and innovative outcomes for our clients. Our pursuit of excellence and the best outcomes possible has consolidated our position at the forefront of our specialist areas.
