What is corporate insolvency?

Corporate insolvency arises when a company can no longer meet its financial obligations. Every situation is different, and your rights, duties, and obligations will depend on your role — whether you are a director, shareholder, creditor, or other stakeholder. We will explain this process in detail and guide you through it, ensuring you meet your obligations and your interests are protected.

Liquidation and legal proceedings

We work with insolvency practitioners and other stakeholders across liquidations, wind-ups, examinerships, and receiverships. Where litigation arises, we act for various parties in court applications, legal actions, and court orders. Our team can assist with:

  • Appointments of provisional liquidators, interim examiners, and receivers
  • Petitions to wind up insolvent companies
  • Injunctions and freezing orders
  • Restriction and disqualification of directors
  • Reckless and fraudulent trading applications
  • Liquidators’, examiners’, and receivers’ fee applications

 

Our network

Where appropriate, we work with an extensive network of corporate insolvency professionals — including liquidators, examiners, receivers, accountants, tax advisors, and barristers — to deliver the best possible outcome for all parties involved.

Setting a legal precedent. Peter Boyle & Co. Solicitors successfully applied to the High Court to appoint an Inspector to WFS Forestry — the first ever successful application by a creditor under section 747 of the Companies Act. We are proud to have contributed to the development of Irish law in this area.
