At Ronald Fletcher Baker LLP, our Exeter Insolvency team provides clear, practical advice to individuals and businesses across Exeter, Devon, and the wider South West navigating what can be a highly technical and stressful area of law. Insolvency issues often affect every aspect of personal and commercial life, and our role is to guide clients through the process with clarity, confidence, and strategic focus.
Our Exeter-based solicitors have specialist expertise in insolvency litigation and a strong understanding of how insolvency impacts different sectors of commerce. We regularly act for individuals, companies, insolvency practitioners, and creditors, advising on both contentious and strategic aspects of insolvency matters.
We have extensive experience acting on both sides of insolvency disputes. Whether representing creditors seeking to protect or recover their position, or debtors facing insolvency action, our priority is to make the process as straightforward and manageable as possible while safeguarding our clients’ interests.
When acting for creditors, early and informed action is critical. Our team advises on the full range of insolvency procedures and how each can affect a creditor’s claim, enabling us to identify the most effective route to recovery. In many cases, insolvency proceedings against a debtor are not only necessary but can be a powerful tool in prompting engagement and repayment.
We are also regularly instructed by insolvency practitioners to pursue directors’ disqualification proceedings and claims relating to antecedent transactions for the benefit of creditors. Our experience includes handling complex claims against directors, including joint tortfeasor claims, where misconduct or breach of duty is alleged.
For debtors, we provide robust representation where insolvency proceedings are disputed or premature. Our Exeter team frequently applies to set aside statutory demands and seeks injunctions to restrain winding-up petitions. We place strong emphasis on early intervention, advising debtors on whether to oppose proceedings, negotiate repayment arrangements, or explore alternative solutions before matters escalate.
Insolvency proceedings should never be ignored. Our Exeter Insolvency team works closely with clients to assess risk, identify options at an early stage, and deliver practical, commercially focused solutions designed to protect livelihoods, businesses, and reputations.
