Insolvency services for our times

Atherton Bailey is a full-service insolvency and corporate recovery practice with a firm commitment to business rescue wherever it is possible. The practice de-merged from Benedict Mackenzie in 2005 in order to focus on business rescue in its many forms.

The insolvency services market has changed and is continuing to do so. Atherton Bailey reflects these changes and services a growing demand from owner-managed businesses and SMEs for high quality, independent corporate recovery advice and assistance.

The established practices — the Big Four and other major accounting practices’ insolvency and recovery arms — do not always provide cost-efficient or outstanding advice to businesses in financial difficulty. Many provide insolvency services at the behest of a bank or other secured creditor whose intent may not coincide with either the general interest of all creditors or that of the owner/managers. Other practices are simply out to make as much money as possible.

Business opportunities at Atherton Bailey

There are many insolvency professionals who share our view that there is an unmet demand from owner-managed businesses and SMEs for high quality, independent corporate recovery services. If you are interested in becoming part of the Atherton Bailey growth story, please contact Malcolm Fillmore in confidence.

The legal structure of Atherton Bailey is a mutually owned, non-profit-centre Limited Liability Partnership. Partners are chosen because of their desire to share the professional and financial rewards which flow from providing a leading-edge professional service.

Each office or practice is partner-owned. It is NOT a franchise, nor are there any profit transfers to the centre. Central costs are divided equitably and all partners are expected to take on their share of management responsibilities.
