At Kimani, Kiarie & Associates, we offer highly effective debt collection services. Our team is well-equipped to assist clients in collecting outstanding debts with professionalism, integrity, and sensitivity, preserving the commercial relationships between our clients and debtors.

We diligently trace debtors, identify their assets, and assess their financial standing, helping identify "hopeless" debts early to save clients potential legal costs. We have found that debtors often respond more positively to lawyers, as the threat of litigation, insolvency, or liquidation carries more weight. A demand letter from a law firm often elicits a more favorable response than one from a debt collection agency.

Restructuring extends beyond formal bankruptcy or liquidation processes. It encompasses covenant re-setting, 'amend and extend' discussions, forbearances, waivers of default, consensual solutions like refinancing, asset sales, cash injections, business or equity restructuring, as well as formal processes such as schemes of arrangement, business rescue, and liquidation.

Our Restructuring Practice operates seamlessly across our offices and practices to provide a user-friendly engagement model and consistently high-quality service. We offer:

• Comprehensive experience in informal work-outs, facility extensions, covenant amendments, consensual restructurings, and formal insolvency measures
