Littleton Chambers is recognised for its expertise across the full spectrum of insolvency and restructuring matters. Members regularly advise on all aspects of corporate and personal insolvency, including administrations, receiverships, liquidations, bankruptcies, unfair prejudice claims, business transfers, wrongful trading, preferences, and complex cross-border cases.
Our barristers combine technical precision with commercially informed practical advice. They are frequently instructed in matters where insolvency intersects with other areas of law, including allegations of fraud or breaches of fiduciary duty, employee-related issues such as TUPE, injunctions to preserve the assets of insolvent companies, misappropriation of tangible and intangible assets, and claims by liquidators or administrators against former employees.
Littleton’s juniors are increasingly instructed as sole counsel, appearing in the Insolvency and Companies List of the Chancery Division and in County Courts on interlocutory hearings, bankruptcy petitions, winding-up petitions, and administration extension applications. Members also act on international and cross-border matters, in jurisdictions including the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Dubai, and Hong Kong.
