Stewart Perry
FieldfisherThe 'very knowledgeable and responsive' team at Fieldfisher draws upon deep technical knowledge and a commercial approach, developed over many years' experience in the market advising a variety of stakeholders in complex restructurings and insolvencies across a range of industry sectors. The team is, however, perhaps best-known for its contentious capabilities, with the 'fantastic' Kit Jarvis regularly assisting IPs to maximise returns for creditors in situations that have involved alleged fraudulent behaviour by the debtor, as well as picking up an increased volume of instructions by bridging financiers seeking to enforce debts. Stewart Perry also has excellent litigation instincts, which he combines to good effect with his non-contentious offering to provide a 'results-driven service' for clients. The Manchester office also includes numerous notable practitioners including Michelle Shean and Chris Keane, who joined the firm in January 2024 from Clarke Willmott LLP.
