Adrian Slater

Dispute Resolution

Partner. Adrian qualified as a Solicitor in 1998 and joined Nelsons as a Partner in May 2024.

Adrian advises on contentious insolvency matters and commercial debt collection, supporting insolvency practitioners, businesses and individuals, with a particular focus on investigating the reasons for a company’s failure and identifying any potential claims that can be pursued through the Courts for the benefit of the company’s creditors. This includes investigating the conduct of directors, antecedent transactions, frauds such as Ponzi and pyramid schemes, and tracing assets in multiple jurisdictions. Adrian is also experienced in trust and property issues arising in the context of bankruptcy, investigating the extent of the bankrupt’s interest in a property, and realising that interest for the benefit of the bankrupt’s creditors.

Adrian also updates a chapter in Tolley’s Insolvency Law Service entitled “Official Receiver: Personal”.
