The Burning and then Rise of Phoenix Companies

Here, Brent Norling, Director of Norling Law and Damien Grant, Director of Waterstone Insolvency discuss all things Phoenix Companies.

Old companies are often burned and new companies often rise from the ashes with renewed youth and viability.

We discuss the basics, such as:

  • What makes a company a “phoenix company”?
  • What isn’t a phoenix company?
  • What are the consequences if a director gets it wrong and is prosecuted?
  • How to successfully create a phoenix company without breaching the Legislation resulting in a possible prosecution.

We also discuss why companies may choose to create a phoenix company. Because there are very legitimate reasons why a director may look at this option as a viable option.

We often see people creating phoenix companies in breach of the Legislation and the consequences can be onerous.

As always, if you have any questions or need any assistance, we offer a free 30-minute legal consultation. You can book directly into our calendar here:

Public Service Announcement to Debtors

So, I am in an absolute island paradise and I am reflecting on a common story I hear back home from our clients.

This is a message to debtors.

Debtors, if you do this, you are going to motivate your creditors to sue you.

You are going to motivate them to spend money on Lawyers when they were otherwise sitting on their hands in frustration.

Because let’s be fair, many of the debtors we deal with owe money to multiple entities. Its a matter of priorities. Some creditors are a priority. Some are not.

Creditors; make sure you position yourself to be a priority.

Creditors, if you are frustrated with your debtors and need some assistance. Reach out for a free 30-minute legal consult. You can book here:
