A Specialised Approach
We occupy a unique position between insolvency practitioners and solicitors — recovering outstanding funds on behalf of Insolvency Practitioners, and guiding directors through the Section 216 restrictions that follow a liquidation.

We have assisted numerous directors with the process of legitimately acquiring re-use of a prohibited name.

Why Use Us?
Whether you are an Insolvency Practitioner pursuing a recovery or a director facing the restrictions of Section 216, Justitia offers a distinct advantage — a unique blend of legal knowledge, negotiation expertise and commercial awareness.
Comprehensive Understanding of IP Responsibilities
We recognise the statutory duties and commercial pressures faced by Insolvency Practitioners. Our services are designed to support these responsibilities, ensuring that all recovery actions are compliant and commercially viable.
Regulatory Compliance and Thoroughness
Our approach is rooted in strict adherence to insolvency law and the Insolvency Rules — whether pursuing a recovery for an Insolvency Practitioner or securing the lawful re-use of a company name for a director. Every action is thorough, legally sound and designed to minimise risk.
Expert Negotiation with Directors and Representatives
We excel in communicating with directors and their legal or financial representatives. Our team is skilled at explaining complex legal positions clearly, facilitating constructive dialogue and encouraging settlement.
Collaborative Approach with Your Legal Team
While we handle the majority of the recovery process, we are fully prepared to instruct solicitors when necessary. We work seamlessly with your chosen legal professionals to ensure a coordinated and effective strategy.
Specialist Section 216 Guidance
Section 216 and the re-use of company names is a niche, often misunderstood area of insolvency law. We guide directors through the restrictions and the statutory exception that allows a prohibited name to be used legitimately in a new company.
Guiding Directors From Start to Finish
For directors, we manage the Section 216 process end to end — liaising with the liquidator, preparing the required notices and meeting the strict statutory deadlines — so you can move forward with the business name you want.
Professional Correspondence and Documentation
We manage all correspondence with directors, liquidators and their representatives, ensuring every communication is professional, legally accurate and aligned with the strategy — whether a debt recovery or a Section 216 matter. We handle the drafting of all necessary documentation, from settlement agreements and statutory demands to the statutory notices required to re-use a company name.
