Served with a statutory demand?
A statutory demand is a formal legal document requiring a company to pay an outstanding debt within 21 days. Miss the window and your company is legally presumed insolvent — exposing your business to a winding-up application and the appointment of a liquidator.
21 Days
From the moment of service — after which your company is presumed insolvent.
Setting Aside a Statutory Demand:
If you legitimately dispute the debt, we can take swift action to apply to the court to set the demand aside before the 21-day deadline expires, preventing the creditor from enforcing the debt or initiating liquidation.
Issuing Statutory Demands:
For creditors, we accurately draft and serve formal demands to pursue outstanding debts and maximize your recovery.
Court Representation:
Providing robust advocacy in court proceedings, whether you are defending your company against a winding-up application or enforcing a debt.
The 21-day countdown begins the moment the document is served. Securing expert legal support immediately is the best way to protect your company’s future.

Urgent Legal Advice for ATO Director Penalty Notices (DPNs)
Have you received a Director Penalty Notice (DPN)? You must act immediately. A DPN is a powerful enforcement tool used by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to hold company directors personally liable for a company’s unpaid tax debts. If your company has failed to meet its PAYG withholding, Goods and Services Tax (GST), or Superannuation Guarantee Charge (SGC) obligations, the ATO can legally recover these outstanding amounts directly from you.
This personal liability applies to any current director, and can even expose past directors for unpaid debts accrued prior to their resignation.
Understanding Your DPN: Traditional vs. Lockdown DPNs expose directors to significant personal financial risk with very limited avenues for defense. It is critical to identify which of the two types of notices you have received:
Traditional DPNs:
You are given a strict 21-day window to pay the debt, place the company into voluntary administration, or initiate liquidation to avoid personal liability.
VS.
Lockdown DPNs:
If company tax lodgements are severely overdue, the ATO issues a lockdown notice, making you instantly and unavoidably liable for the company's tax debts.
Protecting Your Personal Assets
Navigating an ATO tax debt requires early, strategic advice. At Revere Litigation Lawyers, we offer premium legal services to help you manage and settle ATO disputes. If you have received a DPN—or are concerned about potential exposure—our highly experienced tax debt and insolvency team will assess your position and implement a practical strategy to protect your personal interests.
