Business Dissolution & Liquidation

Expert legal guidance is essential in the complex legal processes of business dissolution and liquidation. Legal advice can make all the difference if your business navigates voluntary dissolution, deals with creditors, or faces compulsory liquidation. 

At Stephen Wawn & Associates, we specialise in providing tailored solutions that protect your interests while ensuring compliance with all legal obligations. Serving businesses across New South Wales and beyond, our experienced team of business dissolution and liquidation lawyers is here to guide you through every step of the process.

Business Dissolution vs. Business Liquidation

Business dissolution and liquidation are two different legal procedures associated with a business. However, the focus of each is different. Dissolution is the formal closure of a business, where operations cease and legal obligations are resolved, while liquidation involves selling off assets to pay creditors, either as part of a voluntary decision or due to insolvency.

Both processes require a thorough understanding of dissolution law, the company dissolution process, and the legal ramifications of liquidating a business. Seeking professional legal support is critical in ensuring that all financial and legal matters are handled correctly, avoiding potential complications and penalties.
