Receivers
The current global downturn and banking crisis in Ireland has unfortunately led to many company insolvencies in the construction, engineering and property-development sector. The financial difficulties encountered by banking institutions has resulted in little, if any, liquidity in the market and consequently there is an unwillingness of banks to continue to fund many development projects.
A Receiver is appointed over assets that are securitised on an underlying loan provided by banking institutions. The purpose of the appointment of a Receiver is to realise these assets in satisfaction of the underlying loan.
Given the unprecedented level of distressed assets in the current marketplace it is increasingly important to have the right exit strategy to maximise the value on these assets.
Today, in the case of insolvent construction and property development-companies, whose survival is now dependent on restructurings and insolvencies, Receivers need to have the ability to tap into specialised knowledge within these skill sets and other practice areas to formulate the most beneficial exit strategy.
