Recognised as a market leading team, we provide advice on the full range of corporate recovery and restructuring assignments to banks, factors and discounters and financial institutions. We also work with under-performing businesses and their directors, UK insolvency practitioners, private equity and venture capital houses, turnaround professionals, pension trustees and the Pension Protection Fund.

Call one of our team for advice on corporate recovery and restructuring legal issues.  We also have an e-mail enquiry service, through which recovery professionals can raise queries on any aspect of corporate recovery law and restructuring.  Email the team at recovery@lg-legal.com.

The team operates a comprehensive seminar programme for its clients.  We organise Europe's largest insolvency and restructuring conference for recovery professionals, attracting over 550 delegates to London each year.  Our next conference is on Monday 5 November 2012.
