My experience
Day-to-day, my work encompasses all elements of:
- bankruptcy and insolvency litigation;
- restructuring; and
- insolvency law and practice.
This includes all matters in relation to the rights and duties of insolvency officeholders (e.g. liquidators, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and CVA / IVA supervisors), the rights of bankrupt individuals, third party creditors and debtors, guarantors and indemnifiers, director duties and disqualification, misfeasance, wrongful trade, preferences, transactions at undervalue, and transactions defrauding creditors.
I frequently act for insolvency officeholders, directors, shareholders, creditors, stakeholders, and individuals who have been affected by insolvency procedures (whether directly or indirectly e.g. a family member of a debtor or otherwise connected with a debtor entity). I also act in the sales / purchases and restructurings of distressed businesses.
I additionally assist in a wide variety of other dispute matters including commercial disputes, contract disputes, property disputes and debt recovery.
I am a ranked lawyer in both Chambers and Partners (Star Associate) and Legal 500 (Recommend Lawyer), and I am a member of the R3 Association of Business Recovery Professionals.
