Liquidator

A Liquidator is an insolvency professional appointed to conduct the liquidation process of a corporate debtor under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The Liquidator takes control of assets, verifies claims, realises value, distributes proceeds, and completes the closure process in accordance with applicable law.

Liquidation requires careful handling of creditor claims, asset valuation, public announcements, stakeholder communication, statutory filings, sale processes, distribution priorities, and compliance with IBBI and NCLT requirements.

We provide professional support for Liquidator assignments, assisting with liquidation process management, claim verification, asset realisation, stakeholder coordination, compliance documentation, distribution support, and closure filings.
