Directors Disqualification Experts

Simon Burn Solicitors is a recognised authority in the area of insolvency and has particular expertise and a strong reputation for its services in the specialist area of Directors Disqualification proceedings. Simon Burn Solicitors has a specialist insolvency conduct team to provide dedicated advice to individuals threatened with or subject to proceedings under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 (CDDA).

A Disqualification Order can prevent you from acting as a Company Director and have a devastating impact both in terms of your reputation and the ability to earn a living. It is for that reason that it is important to take advice from proactive expert solicitors who have experience and expertise in devising appropriate strategies to either defeat proceedings brought under the CDDA 1986 or to minimise the impact of a Disqualification Order or Disqualification Undertaking.

The first step we always take is to acquire a detailed understanding of the full background and assess the prospects of successfully defending the action. Simon Burn Solicitors can and will defend you if at all possible and have done so successfully for many clients. Depending upon the particular factors in your case and your attitude towards litigation, alternative strategies can be explored such as offering an undertaking not to act as a Director. If this strategy is adopted then we can use our expertise and experience to negotiate acceptable terms for such an Undertaking.

Simon Burn Solicitors can also minimise the effect of a Disqualification Order or Disqualification Undertaking by advising you in connection with and prosecuting a claim on your behalf for permission to continue to act as a Company Director. Simon Burn Solicitors has an enviable record of success in making applications for permission to act as a Director which allows individuals who are subject to Disqualification Undertakings or Disqualification Orders to continue in their business career.

If you require any information or assistance or have been threatened with proceedings under the CDDA, please contact us as soon as possible. We are happy to have a no obligation conversation with you to see if we can help you.
