Liquidation Advice for Company Directors

Law Tram’s Debt and Bankruptcy Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Facing Liquidation? Know Your Rights and Responsibilities as a Director

If your company can’t pay its debts and has no realistic prospect of recovery, liquidation may be the next step. This is a formal process where a liquidator is appointed to sell company assets, pay creditors and close the business. While it can bring closure, it also triggers strict rules and potential personal risks for company directors.

You may be required to assist the liquidator, provide documents, explain past decisions and potentially face action if you breached director duties or allowed insolvent trading. If you’ve given personal guarantees or taken director loans, you may also be directly affected.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who can help you understand your legal obligations, protect your personal position and make sure the liquidation process is managed correctly.
