Advice and litigation in insolvency and restructuring requires specialist expertise. Hunt & Hunt has extensive experience in this area and is well placed to advise all stakeholders.
Insolvency brings urgency, scrutiny and risk. Decisions are made quickly, often with incomplete information, and the consequences, financial, reputational and regulatory, can be lasting. In that environment, technically correct advice is not enough. What matters is judgment, timing and commercial realism.
Hunt & Hunt approaches insolvency and restructuring with a clear focus on outcomes. We act for insolvency practitioners, creditors, financiers and directors in contentious and non-contentious insolvency matters across Australia. Our role is to help clients protect value, manage risk and move decisively, whether that means recovery, restructure, enforcement or an orderly exit.
We understand that insolvency rarely exists in isolation. It often intersects with litigation, employment issues, property interests, security enforcement and reputational risk. Our advice is shaped by that broader context, ensuring that insolvency strategy aligns with our client’s commercial objectives and risk tolerance, not just the immediate legal mechanics.
We advise and act across the full lifecycle of insolvency and restructuring matters, including:
We regularly act in contested matters, including recovery proceedings, director and officer claims, and disputes involving competing security interests. Where litigation is required, we pursue it efficiently and proportionately. Where a commercial resolution or restructuring delivers a better result, we advise accordingly.
Insolvency disputes are time-critical and commercially sensitive. We act in contentious insolvency matters including recoveries, voidable transactions and director claims, applying disciplined strategy to protect value, manage risk and resolve disputes efficiently.
