Restructuring and Insolvency

I have always been impressed by the efficient and comprehensive approach to dealing with each matter. Whether it is a small point or a large project, each are dealt with an appropriate level of commitment and service which exceeds expectations. From partners down to trainees and support staff, you know you are in safe hands.

Coffin Mew provides good partner led innovative advice. Nothing is too much trouble and if the answer is not immediately known then after due research considered advice is given. The quality of the firm is demonstrated by the partners and professional staff who service the client. The thing that I like most about the people that we have dealt with is that they are tenacious in seeking a recovery for their clients no matter how many fruitless arguments are placed before them. Insolvency is highly specialised and requires practical, timely and commercial legal advice, often while under severe pressure. I am happy to instruct and recommend Coffin Mew as I believe that they achieve this and each time I instruct them I do so with confidence.

They are very flexible and they are very good value for money.

The current focus sectors include renewable energy, financial services, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, construction, farming and manufacturing. In a recent highlight, Wood advised Kace Holdings on its £3m management buyout of Lakesmere, which had entered administration. Resolve Partners was also added to the client portfolio.

I have used the Coffin Mew team in my insolvency work for the past five years. I have found both their speed of response and quality of advice first rate. They have a good breadth and depth of experience to provide high quality service, irrespective of their commitments to other clients.

Having Coffin Mew act for me means that I do not have to worry about the quality of the service or adherence to any timescales.

Can I please re-confirm my comments yesterday – both you and your teams were magnificent on the transaction quite honestly. Without the spirit of cooperation between your firms, we could have so easily missed my imposed Christmas deadline. Saying ‘many thanks’ seems so insignificant but so much; – many many thanks.
