Liquidators Claims

We Protect You from Claims by Liquidators. Once a company enters liquidation, the appointed liquidator has legal powers to investigate previous transactions and pursue directors or third parties for recovery of assets. These claims can be civil, regulatory, or criminal in nature, and often carry high financial and reputational risk.

We act decisively to challenge liquidator claims and protect former directors.

Common Claims Brought by Liquidators

Overdrawn Director Loan Accounts

Liquidators demand repayment of alleged overdrawn directors’ loans.

We assess legitimacy, accounting, unpaid salary/dividend offsets, and challenge inflated or unfair claims.

Preference Payments

A liquidator may try to recover payments made in preference to other creditors.

We examine intent, timing and the financial context.

Transactions at Undervalue

Claims may be brought to set aside transactions below market value, including asset transfers to family or directors.

Defences may involve fair value, commercial justification and insolvency timing.

Wrongful & Fraudulent Trading

Accusations may arise for trading while insolvent or alleged dishonesty.

These are serious claims with disqualification and personal liability risk and require evidence-led defences.

Do not respond without legal advice

Any statement or admission can be used against you. Early involvement improves your defence and settlement options. We provide independent legal advice for directors and engage with the liquidator on your behalf.
