Understand Your Situation
Being banned from being a director strikes at your livelihood. We fight the Insolvency Service to keep you in the boardroom.
Defending Disqualification Proceedings
If your company has gone into liquidation, the Insolvency Service may investigate your conduct. Allegations of 'unfit conduct' (e.g., not paying tax, trading while insolvent) can lead to a ban of up to 15 years.
We challenge these allegations. We explain the commercial context—that business failure is not always negligence. We negotiate 'Disqualification Undertakings' to reduce the ban period without going to court. Better yet, we fight to stop the proceedings entirely by proving you acted responsibly.

Plan Your Defence
Permission to Act
Even if disqualified, you can apply for court permission to remain a director of a specific company (Section 17).
We make these applications. We prove to the court that the public is protected, allowing you to continue running your current business despite the ban.
Facing a Ban?
We can help you apply for permission to keep working.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
