Joanne Rumley
Work Department
Head of Restructuring & Insolvency | Corporate | Risk Advisory
Position
Joanne leads our Restructuring and Insolvency offering collaborating with a broad range of businesses, directors, stakeholders and other professional advisors. Her role is focused on opportunities for turnaround rescue and restructure but also involves managing formal insolvency processes. She works closely with distressed equity and debt investors as well as with turnaround professionals and insolvency practitioners.
Joanne is regularly found in the board room providing strategic advice to directors of businesses close to insolvency, particularly around their duties and responsibilities when dealing with distress. She also has significant experience advising stakeholders on managing their risk and exposure to businesses in financial difficulty. Joanne and her team are specialists in the investment bank special administration regime overseeing the return of significant values of client monies and custody assets across a portfolio of these cases.
Joanne is proud of the Restructuring and Insolvency Team’s approach and says ‘we always try to be accessible, flexible, responsive and adaptable, seeking to deliver technical advice in a practical yet commercial way, with an ability to innovate and think creatively in order to deliver the best solutions for our clients’.
Joanne enjoys contributing to the wider business communities in which she works and is a national director of TMA UK and the Insolvency Lawyers’ Association and more locally a board member of the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership. Joanne is also passionate about the importance of business inclusion and diversity and supports Foot Anstey’s work in this area.
