Business Recovery & Insolvency

Stirling has worked almost exclusively in the insolvency field since 1965, when he commenced work in the Official Receivers Office.  During that time Stirling has been a leading practitioner in both the corporate and personal insolvency areas including receivership, voluntary administration, liquidations of all types, Part X and bankruptcy.  In addition he has been involved in numerous workouts where insolvency appointments were not appropriate.

As part of his role he has caused to carry out investigations into such issues as incorrect accounting, insolvent trading, undue preference payments, uncommercial loans, hidden assets, etc.   Flowing from these investigations many expert reports have been written by him, which in turn, lead on occasion, to Stirling being a witness for either the plaintiff or defendant in court proceedings.

In a career spanning 40 years Stirling has had experience in a very wide range of industries.
