Our Examinership Expertise
Lavelle Partners have successfully advised and represented many small, medium, and large companies in Ireland through the examinership process. We understand that businesses making the decision to enter into examinerships need sharp and decisive legal guidance to represent their best interests.
Examinerships in Ireland hold many advantages over other insolvency measures for a business struggling to pay its debts; our Restructuring & Insolvency Team can assess your precise circumstances and advise on the best strategy for you.
We act for any party who may be involved in the examinership process, whether it is the examiner, creditor, directors, shareholders or the purchaser of a business which is in examinership. We have been involved in many successful examinerships on behalf of various examiners and we have also successfully opposed the appointment of examiners or the implementation of schemes of arrangements on behalf of creditors who were being unfairly prejudiced.
As a full-service law firm, client's benefit from the firm's multi-disciplinary offering and our combined legal expertise across a number of related practice areas, including Asset & Debt Recovery, Corporate & M&A and Litigation & Dispute Resolution.
