Commercial and Corporate work

Our   firm   advises   on   all   aspects   of   Commercial   Law   on   a   day   to   day   basis   for   firms of   all   sizes.   There   are   many   factors   to   be   taken   into   consideration   in   running   a business   or   setting   up   a   new   company.   since   the   introduction   of   the   office   of   the Director   of   Corporate   Enforcement,   it   is   vital   that   directors   are   aware   of   their duties   and   obligations   in   such   matters   as   the   filing   of   annual   accounts,   disclosure requirements    and    compliance    statements.    We    therefore,    advise    directors    in relation to their duties and responsibilities under the Companies Acts.

Insolvency - Individuals

We   advise   and   represent   partnerships   and   sole   traders   on   the   issues   that   arise   on insolvency,   including   arrangements   with   creditors,   division   of   assets,   employee issues, safeguarding of family assets and bankruptcy.

Insolvency - Companies

For   Creditors   we   advise   the   most   effective   course   of   action   where   a   debtor   is   or   is likely   to   become   insolvent.   For   Directors   and   Shareholders   of   companies   which   may be   unable   to   pay   their   debts,   we   provide   guidance   through   this   difficult   and   highly technical   area.   Where   winding   up   is   necessary,   we   will   advise   on   the   procedure, including   preparation   for   and   attendance   at   creditors’   meetings,   dealing   with   the Liquidator,   representation   when   claims   are   made   against   Directors   and   protection   of personal    assets.    For    Liquidators    we    advise    and    represent    at    all    stages    of    the liquidation.

Debt Recovery

Managing   credit   control   is   always   a   priority   for   business   owners   and   managers. Unfortunately   businesses   can   experience   difficulty   in   the   collection   of   money   owed to   them.   We,   in   Mannix   and   Company   have   been   collecting   debt   for   over   twenty years.   Technology    and    the    careful    utilisation    of    resources    have    enabled    us    to increase   our   efficiency   and   results.   We   deal   with   the   entire   range   of   recovery services    available,    national    and    international    and    can    therefore    assist    you    in recovering your debt, whatever size, in a speedy and cost effective way.

Personal Injury Claims

Accidents   occur   every   day,   in   work,   on   the   roads,   or   even   going   about   your   normal business. An   accident   which   causes   injury   can   have   so   many   different   repercussions for   the   people   involved   be   it   medical,   emotional   or   financial.   We   at   Mannix   and Company   have   great   expertise   in   this   area   of   law.   If   you   have   suffered   injury   or   loss due   to   the   fault   of   others,   you   should   seek   our   advice   about   bringing   a   claim   for damages.   The   financial   cost   of   being   injured   in   an   accident   (quite   apart   from   the pain   and   suffering   involved)   can   be   substantial.   Loss   of   earnings,   prescription charges, travelling expenses to and from hospital and so on can soon mount up. We    can    help    you    claim    reimbursement    for    all    these    items,    together    with compensation   for   your   injuries.   It   is   important   to   note   that   since   the   introduction of   the   Personal   Injuries   Assessment   Board   (PIAB)   Act   2003,   personal   injury   claims must now in the first instance be submitted to PIAB. However,   your   case   may   not   be   resolved   under   the   PIAB   process   and   it   may   then   be necessary   to   issue   legal   proceedings.   It   is   important   therefore   that   you   seek   legal advice at the outset to ensure your case is not prejudiced in any way. As   provided   in   the   Solicitors   (Advertising)   Regulations,   2002   it   should   be   noted   that there is a prohibition on percentage charging in any contentious business.

Wills, Probate and Trusts

Here   at   Mannix   and   Company   we   offer   discreet   and   professional   advice   to   clients intending   to   make   wills.   Making   a   will   ensures   that   your   estate   passes   to   those whom   you   wish   to   receive   it.   Should   you   die   without   making   a   will,   the   law   decides who   inherits   your   assets.   This   may   not   be   in   accordance   with   your   wishes.   We   will therefore   guide   you   through   the   process   of   making   your   will   and   in   particular   will discuss   important   issues   such   as   appointing   executors   and   guardians   if   necessary and also the concern of making sufficient provision for your loved ones. In    addition    we    offer    an    excellent    service    to    executors    and    administrators administering   estates. After   the   passing   of   a   loved   one   it   can   be   a   difficult   time   for family   members   to   deal   with   the   necessary   steps   required   in   obtaining   Probate. The   Probate   is   required   to   allow   the   assets   of   the   deceased   person   to   be   dealt with.    We    advise    and    assist    Personal    Representatives    in    preparing    the    papers necessary to obtain probate. In   the   case   of   a   person   dying   without   a   Will,   the   Succession   Act   1965   deals   with how   the   Estate   is   divided.   Again   we   will   advise   and   assist   family   members   on   the steps   necessary   to   obtain   letters   of   Administration,   which   is   needed   to   allow   the assets to be dealt with.

Family Law

The   break   up   of   a   family   relationship   can   be   one   of   the   most   stressful   events   of   a person's life bringing emotional upheaval to all involved. There   are   difficult   decisions   to   be   made   but   knowing   where   you   stand   from   a   legal point of view helps you move towards a more settled future. We   at   Mannix   &   Company   have   extensive   experience   in   dealing   with   the   breakdown of family relationships and offer the highest quality of legal advice on these issues.
