Putting your
capital back
on track.

Capital Agents advises and represents clients facing situations of impending deterioration of capital (debt or equity) as a result of stakeholder conflicts, mismanagement, or insolvency.

We differentiate from traditional law and insolvency firms by being able to take a holistic and commercial view of the overall situation and objectives. We combine extensive executive management experience with a firm grasp of what is realistically achievable using the available legal and insolvency instruments. In addition to advisory, we can step up to advocate for the desired outcomes, and also go hands on to execute the agreed approach.

Advisory


We quickly understand the key objectives and contentions of the case, followed by digging into the relevant details, documents, and applicable legal technicalities.

We then advise on pragmatic strategies and scenarios, highlighting the assumptions and risks involved, balancing the commercial implications.

Advocacy


We take on the agreed mandate of the client and robustly represent that with the stakeholders involved.

We can draft communications, letters, notices and attend meetings and mediations. We will seek to achieve amicable resolution to avoid costly legal escalations and litigation, gradually ratcheting up the approach.

Execution


If needed we will manage and coordinate litigation in accordance with the agreed mandate. We can prepare witness statements and exhibits, court bundles, and any other legal documents.

We will liaise with barristers and / or solicitors on the nuances of the case, and provide quick reactive arguments during hearings.

About
Capital Agents

Capital Agents is a boutique UK restructuring advisory focusing on contentious cases which usually involve disputes or litigation, especially in the SME space.

The firm was launched by the team behind the first creditor-led Part 26A restructuring plan, which set new legal precedent in the UK. The Restructuring Plan for GoodBox was sanctioned by the High Court in early 2023 and was the first of its kind not only across the recent Part 26A legislation introduced by the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, but also across the nearly 40 year history of Schemes of Arrangement in the UK. The Capital Agents team was in fact part of the management team of the creditor in the case, NGI Systems.

The case was described as “providing ground-breaking precedent for creditor-led RPs“ by Morrison Foerster and “the first example of an individual creditor unilaterally seeking to access the Super Scheme” by DLA Piper.

The Capital Agents team demonstrated the ability to carefully and skilfully navigate complex and uncharted situations to reach successful outcomes, where both legal advisors and insolvency specialists were uncertain and skeptical. They acknowledged that the team managed to walk the necessary “thin line” for a successful outcome. This achievement led to the team being requested to support and advise on other complex and contentious matters for different clients, leading to the formalization of Capital Agents.

Capital Agents is ultimately a problem-solving company for stakeholders facing a risk of loss or deterioration of their capital or interests. We are quick to adapt to the nuances and complexities of the case, leveraging the appropriate legal tools, creatively and tenaciously pursuing the desired outcomes.
