Mills & Reeve LLP has a deep bench of litigators in Cambridge and one client remarks that ‘the firm can now compete with pretty much anyone in the field, whilst still being more responsive than the bigger players‘. Practice head Douglas McDonald frequently acts in high-value commercial disputes for clients in the technology and life sciences sectors. Principal associates Helen Prandy, who handles procurement disputes for government departments, the NHS and pharma companies, and Lino Di Lorenzo, who focuses on insolvency litigation, complex contract and shareholder disputes, are highly regarded. ‘Tactically and strategically astute‘ senior associate James Shiel is a key adviser to the life sciences sector.

The national restructuring and insolvency group at Mills & Reeve LLP is led from London by Neil Smyth and from Cambridge by principal associate Lino Di Lorenzo, but it calls upon key resources in the firm’s Norwich office, where Catherine Noble handles complex claims related to the recovery of assets for estates, and Lynne Lawn focuses on debt and asset recovery claims for the Official Receiver. The firm provides a full service offering to insolvency practitioners, directors, creditors and other key stakeholders of financially distressed companies and individuals. It is a member of the Insolvency Services Panel and acts on disqualification, investigations, public interest winding up mandates and asset recovery actions for Official Receivers nationally.
