A CHESTER law firm is offering free insolvency legal advice to businesses affected by the coronavirus crisis.

Mark Davies and Jan Chillery, senior insolvency solicitors at Aaron and Partners, will help highlight the options available to businesses – including how they could take advantage of new measures such as business rate relief and small business grants.

The free advice sessions, which will be 60-minute phone clinics in line with social distancing measures, will also provide guidance on adapting normal business practices, managing cashflow, and maintaining relationships with suppliers and creditors.

Mark said: "We want to play our part in the economic recovery, which is why we felt offering free insolvency advice clinics to other businesses in the region was the right thing to do during these extremely uncertain times.

"The sudden economic downturn has left business owners grappling with a number of complex and previously unplanned for issues, but we have already seen examples of organisations changing day-to-day practices to adapt."

Jan added: “As a law firm with a highly experienced insolvency team, we know what it takes for a business to stay afloat, so any business feeling the strain can pick up the phone to us, and we’ll help.”
