Michelmores LLP

Business Banking, Restructuring & Insolvency

I’m a Partner in the Banking, Restructuring & Insolvency team and a member of the Firm’s International Trust Advisory Group. I’m ranked as a notable practitioner in Chambers and Partners, and a leading individual in The Legal 500.

I have over 20 years’ experience as a specialist insolvency and restructuring solicitor.

I deal with all types of restructuring and insolvency issues, including business and asset sales and purchases, antecedent transaction advice and recovery, and all aspects of appointment holders’ and directors’ duties, powers and responsibilities.

I advise on the full range of insolvency procedures from administrations through to complex individual voluntary arrangements and bankruptcy. I advise both insolvency practitioners and directors, companies and other stakeholders. In addition, I advise high-net-worth individuals, trust funds and corporates in relation to financial distress, pre-emptive structuring and contingency planning.

I have advised office holders generally (including KPMG, PwC, BDO, Duff & Phelps and FRP Advisory) in relation to many matters including business and asset sales including by way of pre-pack; realisations by trustees in bankruptcy; directors’ duties; extensions and exits from administrations; recovery of significant and complex book debts; and misfeasance proceedings against directors.
