Frank Lo Pilato

Partner - Canberra

Frank is a registered liquidator and registered bankruptcy trustee and is highly skilled in guiding individuals and directors through personal insolvency, bankruptcy, or corporate insolvency. 

“All my initial client meetings are free because I want to understand a person’s situation so I can provide guidance on their options. Sometimes we resolve the issue then and there and they can move forward with recovery on their own. I enjoy listening to people because it helps me give the right advice, and I never consider any job too big or too small – I work with everyone.” 

With more than 30 years’ experience in insolvency and restructuring and recovery, Frank has a deep understanding of Australian financial and corporate laws. He is passionate about helping people get through times of hardship and developing a plan so they can move forward with confidence.

In his spare time, you’ll find Frank at a Canberra Raiders or Brumbies game or watching sport on TV. Frank’s wife often jokes that he suffers from sport FOMO (fear of missing out) – leading him to watch or attend anything from Euro football to the Super Bowl.
