Commercial Litigation

Tal specialises in all aspects of recovery of assets into insolvent estates by receivers, liquidators, administrators and trustees in bankruptcy (or analogous professionals in overseas jurisdictions), usually involving cross-border issues. Tal also advises international clients and advisors on how to best use insolvency processes and powers as part of a wider global asset recovery toolkit.

She acts in specialist insolvency proceedings and also has significant experience in related litigation under the Companies Acts and the Proceeds of Crime Act. Tal often acts in matters seeking the appointment of receivers by the court, and separately acts for such court-appointed receivers in the course of the exercise of their powers.

In addition to her work for office holders, Tal provides advice to international corporate and individual clients regarding the implications of insolvency for them and members of their supply chain, on the risks associated with acquisitions of businesses and assets from insolvent companies, and on structuring transactions to ensure that they comply with insolvency legislation.

Early in her career Tal spent time working in industry for a market leading asset recovery team, and also completed a secondment in the recoveries team of a clearing bank which gives her a unique understanding of how such clients operate and enables her to better meet their requirements.
