2025 / INSOLVENCY

Iqbal was instructed by a former professional sportsman who was under an IVA and was facing a complicated legal claim under the Insolvency Act. The claim was close to £1m and I was instructed to attend court in London and deal with an application to extend time for a defence and argue against strike out. Iqbal was then instructed to amend the defence and negotiate with the claimant’s solicitors. Over the course of detailed negotiations by phone and email, which included obtaining valuations and reviewing agreements, a settlement was achieved. Iqbal was instructed to review the settlement deed and charging order. Using counsel had improved by the settlement offer by about £50,000.

Approximate Fees £10,000
