Joe specialises in contentious and non-contentious corporate and personal insolvency matters. In 2021, Joe was ranked as a Rising Star by the Legal 500 for Insolvency and Corporate Recovery in the East Midlands. He also sits on the Midlands R3 New Professionals Committee.

Joe trained locally and worked across the East Midlands, starting out as a commercial litigator before specialising in insolvency matters.

Joe works closely with other members of the R&I team and has experience in acting across a wide range of sectors including charities and not for profit; construction; education; local government; and retail.
