Liquidation and Dissolution Services

Close structures cleanly, confidently and on time.

Overview

Overview

Ending an entity should be straightforward. In reality, solvency tests, creditor notices, regulatory filings, final accounts and bank closures can absorb time and create risk. Delays slow portfolio rationalisation. Inconsistent records frustrate investors, lenders and boards.

We make liquidation and dissolution simple, secure and well run. Whether you are closing a managed entity or a specific non-managed vehicle, we deliver end-to-end support across leading international financial centres. You get clear steps, disciplined timelines and audit ready evidence from windup announcement through final cash flow and deregistration.

Who we support

We work with financial institutions and asset managers, private equity and venture capital sponsors, real estate and infrastructure managers, corporates and listed vehicles. We also support trustees, family offices and lenders executing portfolio cleanups, end of life funds, corporate simplification and post transaction winddowns across leading international financial centres.

If you need consistency, speed and clear accountability, we align the windup to local rules and stakeholder expectations. We coordinate resolutions, notices, registers, filings, final cash flows and evidence so you can focus on value realisation, investor communications and audit closeout.

How it works

  1. Scope and viability assessment: We confirm objectives, solvency position, asset and liability profile and your preferred timeline
  2. Pre-liquidation checks: We complete KYC/AML reviews, reconcile assets and payables, map stakeholder notices and prepare core documents
  3. Resolutions and appointments: We draft board and shareholder resolutions, document the liquidator’s mandate and appoint roles where required
  4. Windup announcements and notifications: We assist with formal notices to investors, creditors, banks, registries and regulators
  5. Final cash flows and accounting: We coordinate final receipts and payments, distributions, bank closures, final accounts and confirmations
  6. Filings and deregistration: We submit statutory filings, update registers, secure deregistration and provide a complete closeout pack

Integrated with our full-service platform

You get one joined-up team across legal, governance and consulting. Advice connects directly to implementation. Liquidation flows into corporate administration, company secretarial, fiduciary, accounting and investor services. That means fewer handoffs and faster outcomes.

Scope varies by jurisdiction and entity type. Contentious or insolvent scenarios should be managed with your chosen legal advisers.
