Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) Specialist

Creditor Agreement & Business Rescue Expert Guidance

A Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) is a binding agreement between a company and its creditors that governs how the company's affairs will be dealt with following Voluntary Administration. A DOCA may allow a company to continue operating, repay creditors over time, and avoid liquidation—often providing a better outcome for all parties than winding up the company.

If your company has entered or is considering Voluntary Administration, expert guidance may help determine whether a DOCA is an appropriate and viable alternative to liquidation under the Corporations Act 2001.

Real Stories From Clients We’ve Helped

Multiple Creditor Pressure — Still Trading

Our business was under serious creditor pressure from multiple suppliers at once. The restructuring specialist helped us negotiate settlements with each creditor and set up a manageable repayment plan. We're still trading today.
