Unlocking The Value of Insolvency Claims

Solent Capital works with insolvency practitioners to acquire and pursue litigation claims arising from insolvencies. We take an assignment of the rights of action and pursue recovery at our own cost, allowing practitioners to realise value from claims without committing further time, resources or risk.

Our role is simple: to turn legally viable claims into recoveries.

What our Clients Say

Faced with recovering a heavily disputed contractual debt due from a US counterparty, and without funds in the estate to pursue matters further, we turned to Solent Capital for assistance. Solent’s team rapidly got to grips with the underlying contract, legal framework and counterparty and ultimately negotiated settlement for a significant six figure sum which after costs was far in excess of what was originally envisaged, resulting in a healthy return to creditors also. We shall undoubtedly be returning to work with Solent Capital on other matters in the future.

Litigation Acquisition Specialists

Solent Capital specialises in the acquisition and pursuit of insolvency related claims.


Working alongside insolvency practitioners, we assess potential claims arising during the insolvency process. Where appropriate, we acquire the rights of action and assume responsibility for pursuing the case.


This allows practitioners to realise value from claims that may otherwise remain unpursued due to the cost, risk or time involved in litigation.


Our work sits firmly within the professional insolvency ecosystem. We operate with the same standards of discretion, professionalism and legal rigour expected by practitioners, courts and creditors alike.

Supporting Insolvency Practitioners

Insolvency practitioners are often faced with viable claims but limited resources to pursue them.

Litigation can be expensive, time consuming and uncertain. Even strong cases can require significant funding, legal management and long timeframes before any recovery is achieved.


Solent Capital provides an alternative.


By acquiring the claim and pursuing it independently, we remove the financial and operational burden from the insolvency practitioner while still allowing value to be realised from the case.


This approach helps practitioners maximise recoveries for creditors without exposing their practice to additional cost or risk.

Our Expertise

Our team combines more than four decades of experience across insolvency, corporate recovery and commercial litigation, bringing together both practical, hands-on knowledge and specialist legal insight.


Having worked closely with insolvency practitioners, lenders and professional advisers, we understand how claims arise in real-world scenarios, not just in theory. We have direct experience of reviewing complex case histories, identifying viable recovery opportunities and navigating the commercial realities that often influence outcomes. This allows us to assess potential claims quickly, filter out weak or uneconomic cases, and focus on those with genuine merit.


Alongside this, we are supported by senior legal specialists with extensive experience in complex financial disputes, director liability claims and corporate litigation. Every case benefits from detailed legal analysis at an early stage, ensuring that the right strategy is defined from the outset and pursued with clarity and precision.


Importantly, our approach is not purely legal or purely commercial; it is a combination of both. We recognise that successful recovery depends not only on the strength of the legal position, but also on timing, negotiation strategy, cost control and a clear understanding of the opposing party’s position.


This joined-up approach enables us to manage claims efficiently while maintaining a strong focus on outcomes. From initial assessment through to resolution, every case is handled with professionalism, discretion and a clear objective: to maximise recovery while minimising unnecessary complexity and cost.

Our Approach

Our approach is straightforward and professional.


We work with insolvency practitioners to evaluate potential claims arising during the insolvency process. Where a claim has merit, we acquire the rights of action and assume responsibility for pursuing recovery.


From that point forward, the litigation process is managed and funded by Solent Capital.


The result is a clear and efficient path to recovery without requiring further financial commitment from the insolvency practitioner.
