I am a Legal Director in the Restructuring & Insolvency team in London.
I act for Insolvency practitioners in relation to formal insolvency procedures, including administrations, liquidations, receiverships and bankruptcies. My expertise covers both non-contentious and contentious matters.
On the non-contentious side, I typically advise in relation to office holder appointments and business and asset sales. On the contentious side, I advise office holders in relation to pursuing the full raft of Insolvency Act claims, including in relation to: preferences, transactions at an undervalue, wrongful trading, transactions designed to defraud creditors, avoidance of certain floating charges, misfeasance and breach of duty claims. I do also act for companies and directors in financial difficulty, advising them as to the the risks and potential liabilities involved in trading when a company is in a precarious financial position.
