  • Liquidations
  • Schemes of arrangement (insolvent and solvent)
  • Administrations, CVAs and IVAs
  • Receiverships
  • Contested bankruptcy and winding up proceedings
  • Fund and partnership insolvencies and restructurings
  • The EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings
  • The Cross-Border Insolvency Regulations
  • Antecedent transactions
  • Asset recovery
  • Interpretation of financial instruments and market contracts
  • Directors’ disqualification proceedings

In addition to specialist insolvency and restructuring knowledge and experience, Twenty Essex is well known for its expertise at the intersection of insolvency law with issues relating to corporate governance, company law, banking and finance, investment funds, private equity, civil fraud and asset tracing.

Members are instructed to appear before the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court and Privy Council.

Members are regularly instructed to advise and appear (as both advocates and expert witnesses) in jurisdictions across the world, including in Europe, the United States, Hong Kong, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, St Kitts and Nevis, the British Virgin Islands and Samoa.
