“A successful restructure is not only about saving a company. It is about protecting value for creditors, employees and the business.”

Expertise

Alister Yee is a registered liquidator specialising in corporate insolvency, restructuring and financial distress advisory. Having helped establish and grow an insolvency practice, he brings first-hand insight into the commercial demands of running a business and the challenges of navigating financial distress.

He advises business owners, directors and professional advisers at critical stages of financial distress, helping them assess risks early and understand the options available. His expertise spans voluntary administration, corporate liquidation, distressed business sales, deeds of company arrangement (DOCA), creditors’ trusts, receiverships, court-appointed insolvency matters and small business restructuring.

He has worked across small and medium-sized enterprises to complex corporate engagements involving ASX-listed entities, technology businesses, telehealth providers, retail groups and craft breweries. His work has involved varied business models and asset structures, from venture-backed businesses with significant intellectual property to diversified groups holding inventory, domain names and overseas shareholdings.

Alister’s approach is grounded in an independent assessment of business viability and the options available. Whether pursuing a restructure or an orderly wind-down, he brings commercial judgement to decisions where timing, competing interests and creditor outcomes are critical.
