Defending Claims by Grant Thornton Liquidators

Summerfield Browne Solicitors have represented numerous directors against personal claims by Grant Thornton Liquidators.

When a company enters liquidation, the liquidator may in certain instances, have grounds for issuing a claim against a director of the company, including for:

Breach of director’s fiduciary and statutory duties
Misfeasance pursuant to Section 212 of The Insolvency Act 1986
Preference payments pursuant to Sections 239 and 340 of The Insolvency Act 1986
Breach of common law duty of care

This is a personal claim against the director, for which you will be personally liable.

You should look in to whether you have directors and officer’s liability insurance and determine whether this will cover any liability in relation to the claims by the liquidator, including your legal costs and expenses.

We have acted for many directors, whether individually or in a group, to defend such proceedings. Many of the claims are high value.

We have a very successful track record of settling such proceedings prior to trial and in some cases relatively early in the litigation process, thereby minimising our costs. The settlement values have always been significantly less than the amount being claimed by the Grant Thornton Liquidators.

We like to think that we have the necessary experience and guile to ensure that you get the best possible outcome.
