The management of business recovery and insolvency issues requires trust and high levels of expertise and experience.

At DTM Legal, we place our client’s interests at the heart of what we do. During what can be a difficult and sometimes traumatic process, we will be your trusted and reliable advisors who are only ever a phone call away.

For business owners, the rescue of a business is usually the preferred option. Our team will advise on the legal, commercial and financial considerations in order to identify practical and realistic solutions.

If rescue isn’t an option, we are here to guide businesses through the complicated process of formal insolvency. We take away the legal complexity and use plain English to ensure there is full understanding of the advice we are giving.

    Andrew Jackson, Head of Collections & Recoveries, Funding Circle

  • “I was referred to DTM Legal, specifically Kate Roberts by a trusted partner. From the outset they spoke in language I understood, were response and easy to deal with. The matter I engaged with them was a very sensitive issue, that could have had a massive impact to my business, and therefore was a very stressful time for me. It was dealt with in an efficient, excellent manner, at times I was available, when I am often unavailable during working hours. They attended court on my behalf and received the successful outcome I had hoped. This was all dealt with by Kate and her team and at a very cost effective price. I would not hesitate in recommending Kate and her team to business’ needing legal assistance.”

    Andrea Jones, Managing Director, Jomu
