NOT Lawyers
was established in 1996. We are a small, independent firm with the abilities, experience and resources usually associated with much larger firms.
We are led by three very experienced commercial lawyers with
extensive experience in advising and acting for both commercial
and individual clients.
Areas of representation and experience include:
Corporate Insolvency and Business Recovery
Michael O’Neill and Simon Gallant, both partners of
NOT Lawyers, are widely regarded for their specialist expertise
in the complex area of company law known as corporate insolvency
and reconstruction.
If your business (whether small, medium or large) finds itself
in financial difficulties, or, alternatively, finds itself
exposed to a company under some form of insolvency administration
(voluntary administration, liquidation, receivership), Michael
O’Neill and Simon Gallant can assist.
NOT Lawyers acts for many of Sydney’s leading firms
of administrators, liquidators and receivers.
NOT Lawyers also act for financiers, directors, management,
creditors (secured and unsecured), litigation funders, shareholders
and other interested parties involved in insolvency administrations.
NOT Lawyers often acts for clients who seek to acquire business
assets from insolvency administrators.
Recently, for instance, Michael O’Neill has acted as
legal advisor to the Special Purpose Liquidator of One.Tel,
with the task of investigating potential claims of over $100
million.
Simon Gallant continues to act for the liquidators of the
Traveland Group, part of the Ansett collapse.
