Become Our Next Client Success Story
We have used Myerson as our company's solicitors for over 10 years. During that time they have dealt with a range of legal work. Unphased by the 'big names' and frequently head to head with power players, they have always worked effectively on our behalf as both a business and as shareholders, and have represented us extremely well in many complex and difficult situations. Myerson partners and lawyers have an excellent grasp of the commercial realities of our business - something that is equally as important as their undoubted capabilities as lawyers.

The Risks of Delaying

Your Bank Account is at Risk.
Get Same-Day Emergency Legal Defence to Stop the Petition.
Delaying action after receiving a Winding-Up Petition can have devastating consequences:
➤ Frozen bank accounts: Once the petition is advertised, banks may immediately freeze company funds.
➤ Reputational damage: Creditors and suppliers may lose confidence and take independent action.
➤ Compulsory liquidation: The court may wind up the company, and directors can face investigation by the Insolvency Service.
