Sequestration & Debt Rehabilitation

If your debts have become unmanageable, sequestration offers a way to clear them and start fresh—but the process can feel overwhelming. We'll guide you through the entire process, helping you understand whether sequestration is the right option, the legal steps to declare insolvency, how to protect your essential assets, and how to apply for rehabilitation to restore your financial status after insolvency.

Business Liquidations

When a business can no longer pay its debts, liquidation may be the best solution. We provide expert guidance on voluntary liquidation, manage communication with creditors on your behalf, protect your legal rights, and ensure your business is wound up in the most efficient way possible.

Debt Negotiations & Payment Plans

Not every situation requires formal insolvency. We can negotiate with your creditors to arrange lower monthly payments, extended repayment terms, or reduced settlement amounts. This approach can give you breathing space and help avoid legal action.

Rehabilitation Applications

If you've been declared insolvent, you don't have to live under that status forever. We assist clients in applying for debt rehabilitation, helping them clear their name, restore their creditworthiness, and move forward with financial freedom.

What our Clients say

"For many years, I have relied on SM Farah Attorneys for all my commercial drafting and litigious disputes. Their availability and swift turnaround time are outstanding, consistently meeting my needs."

M and M

"We have retained SM Farah Attorneys for an extended period, and we are thoroughly satisfied with their consistent service. Far exceeding the scope of our retainer agreement, they demonstrate exceptional commitment and professionalism in addressing our legal requirements”

Mr. D

"We have nothing but praise for SM Farah Attorneys after their assistance in some brutal legal fights. First, we were dealing with an ex-employee who’d stabbed our company in the back—breaking confidentiality rules and ignoring their contracts in ways that could’ve ruined us. Then, to make things worse, we got caught up in a messy liquidation where the liquidators tried to drag us and my business into their claim. SMF didn’t flinch and they made sure both matters were swiftly dealt with and disposed of.”

MR. LM

"We have been working with SM Farah Attorneys for a while now, and I can honestly say they’ve been a game-changer for me in dealing with some seriously complicated labour and commercial disputes. These weren’t simple case, think messy employee issues mixed with tricky business contracts that could’ve gone south fast. What really stands out is how they’re always there when we need them, even on weekends. I’d call with a panic about some new wrinkle in a case, and they’d pick up, calm me down, and have a plan ready to go. They’ve got this knack for breaking down the tough stuff so I could actually understand what was at stake, and then they’d go to bat for me like it was personal. The results speak for themselves—solid wins that saved me a ton of stress and money."

WBE

When I got tangled up in a shareholders dispute that was about as complicated as it gets, I honestly didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I was referred to SMF. From inception, they took the time to really get what was going on, digging into every messy detail without ever making me feel like it was too much for them. The whole thing was a nightmare, high stakes, tricky legal twists, and a lot riding on this for me personally, but they handled it like pros. They kept me in the loop, explained stuff in a way that actually made sense, and fought hard every step of the way for me.

Mrs. P

"I’ve trusted SM Farah Attorneys for many years with some incredibly tough legal challenges, and they’ve never let me down. They’ve gone the extra mile every time. I can’t thank them enough for their amazing support."

Mr. N

"I have been a client of SMF for a good few years now, and their exceptional service has consistently exceeded my expectations."
