• Liquidation

With offices in both the Hunter and Central Coast, the team represents clients in all aspects of insolvency and bankruptcy. This includes litigation, commercial mortgage foreclosures, enforcement of notes and guarantees. It also includes representation of the interests of secured lenders, lessors, and debtors in complex debtors’ and creditors’ rights litigation and bankruptcy alternatives, reorganizations, liquidations, insolvency planning and loan restructures. The team’s specialist lawyers are called upon to counsel clients in restructuring complex credit relationships, from the inception to the resolution of problems.

Because of Turnbull Hill Lawyers' depth of industry experience, our firm is recognized for its capacity to perform both transactional and adversarial work and craft practical solutions to problems. Our lawyers regularly counsel on bankruptcy implications of contemplated transactions, including the tax consequences of bankruptcy.
