Over £1m recovered for Insolvency Practitioners from sale of IP assets

In any corporate recovery situation, maximising the financial recovery for creditors is vital. Metis Partners help insolvency practitioners do this by focusing on the assessment, valuation and sale of formal IPR (patents, registered trade marks and designs) and certain key intangible assets such as brand, organisational knowledge and know-how, software and customer lists.

The Why:
Working to agreed timeframes and taking a flexible approach to fee structure, we are able to identify, assess, document, market and sell intangible assets. We improve the return for creditors and allow insolvency practitioners to prove to creditors that they have done the maximum to realise value from ALL company assets.

The What:
We can be used in pre-insolvency and any insolvency situation such as administration, receivership and liquidation. We can also support pre-pack negotiations and assist with cases where there is a high level of buyer interest in an insolvent company's intellectual property.

Metis Partners assess intellectual property and other intangible assets, looking beyond the balance sheet and the statement of affairs to determine the potential value of these key intangible assets to third parties.

• Enhanced recovery capability
• Risk-sharing fee structure (including a no win, no fee option)
• A detailed report on key intangible assets early in a recovery situation adding logic to intangible assets pricing
• An outsourced resource - Metis Partners take responsibility for identifying and marketing potentially valuable assets to external parties
• Real accountability to creditors by exploring all assets of potential value
