Who we support

For individuals

Going through financial difficulties as an individual is daunting. Whether you’re facing an insolvency-related claim, need advice on director duties or you’re resisting disqualification, we can help.

For businesses

We can advise on emergency action plans and crisis management – helping you to recover assets or retain title claims – as well as putting plans in place if one of your customers or suppliers becomes insolvent.

For insolvency practitioners

We provide funding to help insolvency practitioners and cash-strapped companies prosecute their claims. Because of our expertise in running cases that are backed by litigation funding, we can offer a much faster way for you to do this. It’s low risk – and lets you bring claims on behalf of insolvent companies easily.

    Testimonials

    • I am immensely grateful to David at Capital Law for his exceptional support during my redundancy process. His expert knowledge in employment law, coupled with a compassionate approach, made a potentially challenging time much more enjoyable. David provided clear, practical advice and was always available to answer my questions, ensuring I felt confident and well-represented throughout. I highly recommend him and Capital Law to anyone in need of dedicated and professional employment law services.

    • Terrafend is a fast growing, venture capital backed sustainability company. Consequently, many of our transactions are diverse in nature and have tight execution timetables. In Sarah, we found the ideal legal counsel to guide and support our business growth. She has a strong understanding of corporate finance, great attention to detail and an innovative and pragmatic thought process – imperative for early stage businesses who have to ‘get things done’, without compromise and to the highest possible professional standards.

    • I can’t recommend Capital Law enough if you are selling equity in your business. The team led by Gareth Williams-Davies were thoroughly professional and were able to offer a commercially balanced view on all aspects of the transaction. The breadth of skills within Capital Law allowed Gareth to bring in specialist colleagues when required and I could not have been represented better. Gareth’s calm and experienced tone was a great advantage during some of the trickier negotiations and he was a significant factor in completing the transaction.
