Debt Recovery, Restructuring & Insolvency
One of the firm’s most vibrant practice area is Debt Recovery, Restructuring and Insolvency that the firm offers its corporate clients especially banks, microfinance institutions and companies. We offer expert legal advice and guidance on all types of debt recovery related issues and advise debtors in distress.
Our practice area covers General Debt Recovery to include debt collection, distress for rent, schemes of compromise, investigations and asset tracing; Debt Restructuring and Rescheduling on non-performing loans; Debt Recovery with a particular bias on Civil litigations both in the Magistrates Court and High Court and Receivership and Insolvency.
We employ all diligence to ensure strict adherence of the procedures provided for under the applicable statutes in each matter. We take cognizant of the fact that non-compliance of any steps provided for under the law or any departure from such procedures especially in distress for rent, execution of decrees, statutory power of sale inter alia would of necessity vitiate the process and render it liable for challenge by the aggrieved.
