The team at Enterprise Chambers has an excellent reputation for handling a wide range of complex insolvency matters. Cross-border insolvencies are prominent in Hugo Groves’ workload, and the ‘very hands-on’ Cristín Toman has a solid track record in advising on directors disqualification cases. Duncan Heath is ’excellent for insolvency‘, ’personable‘ and ’a true artist at cross-examination‘. Recent instructions include the ’exceptional‘ Matthew Maddison acting for the applicant creditor in NGI Systems & Solutions Limited v The Good Box Labs Co Ltd, which is believed to be the first part 26A restructuring plan to be sanctioned outside of London; the case involved issues as to if the court could sanction the plan without the consent of the company and, if so, whether the court was permitted to direct the joint administrators of the company to provide necessary consent.
